[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woman: $300K  if he's older than 50, around 200K if he's closer to 40.  I am 44, my own income is $250K [/quote] serious question but doesn’t that kind of limit you to doctors, corporate lawyers and hedge fund traders? I work for a non profit making 130k and I didn’t realize I am considered low income by folks around here. Yes 300k is easier but I also have a decent house, which while no McLean mega mansion is a good house in a nice neighborhood, with a manageable mortgage. I also drive used cars, don’t spend money on luxury items etc. good thing I’m not single because clearly I couldn’t get a date with any DC women because clearly that isn’t enough.[/quote]

I live in central DC in my own house valued at 1.5mm (and it's very modest townhouse just in a nice safe area); own couple other investments, plus I have a full time employment. Moved to the US 20 years ago with $30,000 in savings and no debt, went to grad school and started working while investing smart. Invested my $30K into real estate in DC from the start. I am still not even fluent fully in English being limited to under $100K jobs, but my investments/real estate make up for that producing $150K net every year (after taxes). Being a first generation immigrant single mom pulling off two jobs, I would have told someone like you to get a second job if we were to get married. I don't want to sacrifice my lifestyle which is not a multi-million spending but I do drive lower-end luxury cars under 40K and buy them new or 1-2 years old. I don't want to move to McLean as I like walking to Dupont to read a book at my favorite cafe.

If no marriage is envisaged, I would just date in LTR. But I do think marriage gives huge benefits of economy of scale and lower taxation, thus I would not date anyone LTR who makes $120K/year and lives in a remote McLean[/quote]
