[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone I know is making $100 an hour and still getting by paycheck to paycheck, do we need a 500k a month to be okay? Not be poor ?[/quote]

If you want to life in a decent family home in a safe, close-in area, you most definitely need to make more than $100/hour (or $200k/year).  For kids, savings, home, $500k is a minimum.  sorry, that's just a fact when barely livable homes cost over $1m and college costs a fortune.[/quote]

It is a fact when you are an idiot.[/quote]

Median income in DCUMland is ~$111K/year.  That means 50% in area live on less than that.  Dig deeper and you will find (I'm guessing) another 25% make between 111-200K.

LOL - you are clueless.  I live in Bethesda and I can tell you you couldn't even scrape by on $111k/year here unless you're living in an apartment building.  You need several hundred thousand a year - like 500k! - to live a normal, basic "American dream" lifestyle here.

Your idea of the American dream is stiflingly boring.  The definition of the American dream is a house with a yard, two cars, vacations, 2 kids.   Not everyone wants that.  And for sure not everyone wants to live in Bethesda.
