[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You realize you left off everything east and south of the park?  Have you literally forgotten that many of us are raising kids in these neighborhoods and communities?  If you can’t live off 150k, YOU are the problem.  [/quote]

Thank you!  I'm the PP who objected to the use of "poor" and yes, I do actually live in DC (not Bethesda, obviously :lol: ).  I fully believe there are people who can't live off $150 for whatever reason and they're certainly entitled to complain about their financial challenges but they're for sure not poor.[/quote]
