[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to an area with lower COL. You do have choices.[/quote]

What are your occupations and salaries?[/quote]

Fed and private sector in regulatory field. $150k a piece. Not enough for a good school district in the DMV.[/quote]

We had friends buy in Chevy Chase and N Arlington this year with $300K HHI and 5-10% down around the $1.2M mark. That’ll get you in an original 3-4 bed, 2-3 bath home close in (say 2200 ish sq ft). Not saying it’s risk free but it can be done if you stretch.[b] If you’re a fed I’d be more inclined to stretch. [/b][/quote]

Have you turned on the news lately? [/quote]

Yep. Another example of someone completely out of touch. Feds are worried daily about their jobs. Stability is gone. [/quote]

Clinton fired 2x the # of feds compared to Trump. Obama implemented a 3 year pay freeze for feds.

Was there ever stability? [/quote]

Clinton followed RIF procedures so there was severance. Regarding Obama, with a freeze you still have a job. Both situations were more stable than the present. [/quote]
