[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well they cannot afford a decent house in a nj e neighborhood and if they have a child, it will cost her entire salary for a nanny. [/quote]

As someone living comfortably in the DMV with two kids and less than half OP's sister's HHI, this forum is so out of touch it cracks me up :lol:

I especially love how OP had to make it clear that they made over $200K in the post.  That being said, there's nothing wrong with being stressed and/or complaining about you finances no matter your income -- everyone has different financial wants and goals -- I just take issue with idea that anyone in OP's family is "poor."[/quote]

This is an endless circle. There are "two" DMVs. One is close in Bethesda, CC, McLean, Arlington -- the other is the further out burbs.

They require vastly different incomes. I would jump off key bridge if I lived further out, thus I am OK to spend way too much money on housing. I give up some luxuries (fancy car, business class travel, etc) for a better location (for me).

Just because you can live fine on a modest 150k salary, doesn't mean everyone can. 150k in Bethesda won't get you a 2 bedroom apartment..[/quote]
