[quote=Anonymous]I think it is difficult to move here as an established adult from a lower cost of living area. I moved here straight from college and was used to being broke with no space, so that was no big deal. I was taken aback my some of the attitude, but I found a more laid back area where I fit in. Our hhi is now $200,000 with two kids in daycare and I feel quite comfortable financially, although our savings took a huge hit as we just bought a second house and all the costs going into that add up. I think OP can easily be comfortable on $200,000 here, but she'd probably not find the same type of house she currently has unless she moved out to Fairfax or even farther.[/quote]
