[quote=Anonymous]Choice at the crux of things here- those who live in fancy NW 'hoods and pay massive dollar per sq foot and high taxes, make a choice to live in such areas. The DC metro area spans two other states and has a dramatic range in costs of housing. Again, you could reduce your housing cost dramatically by living far out and commuting. Preschool tuitions are cheaper there, hell, so are nannies and daycares. Would it be a lifestyle hit...absolutely! The point here though is when you can start living your life on the basis of of lifestyle preference in a fairly flexible way, you are affluent...."rich" is the wrong term, too loaded...the point is, you're doing better not only than 97% of your country but also much better than those in one of the highest HHI metro areas in said nation.

Our HHI exceeds that in question-- but we both earn such high incomes working on global poverty reduction- so really puts a sharp relief on all these idiotic complaints. These folks need to get off their self-pity horses and realize they are very fortunate that their quirks of birth were the largest determinants of being in the top 0.01% of the global economy.
