[quote=Anonymous]I completely understand! While we are nowhere near the idea of having a 1M house, we are very practical about our finances and find it hard here too. It is tough to be middle class in this town full of people at the very top. We made a combined HHI of 75K with one of us only working part-time prior to moving to DC. Money into savings, money into retirement, money into travel savings, went to the best dentist in town, could afford the best doctors and some splurges here and there. Same scenario in DC with a combined HHI of 110K and both of us working full-time...yeah we are nowhere near where we were. That said, we love a lot of what DC has to offer and hope we move to a financial situation that is more comfortable soon. I find that the invariables just cost so much more here that it is hard to scale back one month and save extra like we could before.[/quote]
