[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is ridiculous. You need to make $500k to feel comfortable? People listen to yourselves! We make $350K a year with two kids--one in daycare and one in private elementary school and feel rich and save thousands a month outside of retirement. WTF are you people spending your money on? People on this forum have an enormous sense of entitlement and UMC tastes for only the finest most updated homes, cars, and vacations. Just look at the real estate threads and all the posts about $1.2m houses being trash. There was a recent thread about who buys $500-600k houses in mediocre schools off the eastern part of the red line. You know who? Us. And our neighbors like us who work at NIH, as government lawyers, and in the 270 tech area, etc. We all live in $600k houses. The average DCUMer is in such a bubble they are barely aware of any of this.[/quote]
+1 DCUM is not real life. We make about 230k, live in a small house in Vienna VA (bought in 2009), do not pinch pennies by any stretch of the imagination, manage to save for 529, and put money away for retirement. I suppose our vacations would be considered "too middle class" for the likes of DCUM. [/quote]
