[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$2 million HHI PP here again. I dont understand how a smart, ambitious 40's plus couple working full time both highly educated earns only $300,000 or $500,000. Basically every couple we know with 2 fulltime workers makes seven figures or minimum very high six figures. $300k-$500k is good at late 20's early 30's. The numbers you read in these statistics include single family households and people with no education. Of course that brings the average way down. But most people in NW DC are two parent, 2 income
Households and making 7 figures HHI by early 40's, regardless of what this article says. [/quote]

I'm pretty sure you're a troll.  But just in case there are people out there who agree with you, I give you me as an example of someone with a graduate degree (Ph.D.) who earns $100k at an academic job (just got there and I'm 50)  married to a guy with a JD who works in non profit and makes $150k.  We both love our jobs.

Not all of us worship at the altar of money but actually care about what we do and think about doing good in the world.

Yup, double income nonprofit couple here with master's degrees from top schools. $185K income, though I'm underpaid. Nonetheless we do just fine  (vacations every year, saving for retirement, etc.) We are out to make the world a better place and set a good example for our offspring. [/quote]
