[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DC Circuit Court judges make $220,600, so I guess I'm not surprised of the lack of savings with a $1.2 Million house. [/b]

We just started making a combined $210,000 and have a $450,000 mortgage; even that with similar school expenses to Kavanaugh ($20k/yr for preschool) makes it hard (but not impossible!) to save.  This just seems like bad financial planning on his part-- when he was 35 I'm sure he wasn't banking on being a Supreme Court Justice![/quote]

Yes, that is why a person with that income shouldn't buy a $1.2M house, particularly since the value of the house relates in large part to the local public schools, which the person in question doesn't use.  WTAF

I am the same age as Kavanaugh, with a similar HHI.  DH and I live in Silver Spring, in our paid-off house worth about $800K.  Our combined retirement accounts have a current value of $2.5M and we have another $300K in college savings, plus $200K in mutual funds and $80K liquid for emergencies.

Isn't planning ahead and minimizing exposure to risk what lawyers are supposed to be good at?

I'm the same age as you and him and quit my job because I have more than double your assets and all of my kids out of college already.  Does that make me better than you?[/quote]
