[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life in 2025 is very normal in my McLean neighborhood, very similar to last year.[/quote]

Congrats on your insulation, I guess? I don’t even live in the DC area—I’m about three hours away—but I was at a sports competition for my kid recently and overheard conversations among parents from a NoVa team about widespread layoffs among their neighborhood friends.[/quote]

The vast majority of people who live in McLean have a lot of $$$ to weather the bad economy.   It is what it is.[/quote]

And a lot were faking it and not making it. [/quote]

Doubtful.  You cant fake living in a million dollar home and driving $80k vehicles and sending your kids to private school year after year.  Its not sustainable.[/quote]

You absolutely can. They can pay the bills and have nothing in the bank and find themselves losing all of it in seconds once a commission check doesn’t come through or a layoff or life event happens. Never confuse high earning with “rich” or “wealthy”. [/quote]

2008 recession shows it can happen [/quote]
