[quote=Anonymous]Single mom of one (no father in the picture, so no child support or anything like that), HHI around $100K, kid in middle school, live in Silver Spring in a small house, and I think our life is pretty great, actually. I manage to put money in retirement and I was *extremely lucky* to be able to buy when mortgage rates were still low. (mortgage is around $1,300/mo) Sadly, my parents have died and my inheritance has left us more financially secure, but when they were alive we were not struggling. As I tell my kiddo, we have everything we need and most of the things we want, which feels pretty luxurious. I It's hard to avoid lifestyle creep in this area but since I live in a pretty modest area, my kid doesn't feel outclassed by his peers. Only by DCUM standards would we be considered "poor." [/quote]
