[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feels like they couldn’t cut it in the big leagues. Some people prefer to be a big fish in a small pond. [/quote] And DC is a "big league"? 😂 [/quote] Compared to a lot of places, yes. It's very easy to get a job earning $150K+ for someone with a college degree. And if you lose that $150K-200K job then there are many more you could get, unlike many parts of the country. That's $300K-400K HHI for a family. Not to mention $500K+ HHI is very prevalent. This sounds like barely UMC to many on DCUM but it's very well off to most of America. A friend in her 50's in Central Florida worked her way up to a VP role with a large company and is earning $130K. That job would easily be $250+ in DC. She out earns her Ivy educated husband who has a tech job that would easily pay $200K+ in DC. So that's $230K HHI vs around $450K if they lived in DC with similar jobs.[/quote] Have you heard about cost of living ? [/quote]
