[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would try to be above the median hhi in the neighborhood. [b]I think it's hilarious people are giving op shit while on elsewhere on dcum are telling people to live within your means.[/b][/quote]

It is interesting, but not surprising.  [b]To all of the PPs who claim they truly don't notice anything about how their neighbors live and they never even give a second thought to how they measure up,[/b] I say bull.  F'ing.  Shit.  Everyone -- EVERYONE -- takes notice of that stuff, and it's completely disingenuous to act like it doesn't matter if you have significantly less than everyone around you.  (Which does not include people with an HHI of $350K -- even in Mclean.)

On the other hand, there's something about OP's post that is kind of...awkward and ridiculous.  That's partially b/c asking about HHI is, as many PPs have pointed out, extremely simplistic and not a great indicator of lifestyle.  But more than that, I think most people are able to make these type of assessments informally, privately, sometimes even sub-consciously, by simply observing and interacting with others in their area.  OP's getting a lot of vitriol not because she broke the unwritten agreement that we don't talk about this kind of stuff--although she has--but because she clearly lacks the intuition/understanding to find the information she is looking for in more socially acceptable ways.

Okay we notice - but we don't make major life decisions based on it.[/quote]
