[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the choice argument only works if these families could move to lower cost of living areas and still make that much. That usually isn't the case. [/quote]

I feel so sorry for those people who have no choice but to live in Chevy Chase or Great Falls.  Must be tough.  [/quote]

It is.  We bought a Chevy Chase home from family at a price what we would have paid in Damascus 15 years ago.  They wanted the house to stay in the family and DH had just taken a job in a downtown nonprofit.  That job is not transferrable to another place and we depend on Metro access to his work.  We are the have-nots in the land of haves.  Not all of us wanted to be exactly here, but life and jobs put us here.  [/quote]

Life is all about choices. I learned a long time ago what my biggest priority was. You accepted what at the time you though was a good choice. Now looking back you would maybe not have made the same choice.

You are here now so forget about the past. Where do you want to live in two years? You can work at being somewhere else if you really wanted to leave. [/quote]
