[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you talking about trying to get by on 150K?[/quote]
Yes, $150,000 or less.[/quote]
Not really doable.  You need at least 320k to be ok here.  Not sure when it became like this.  Late 90s? [/quote]

You people are amazingly out of touch with reality.

In the DC metro area, the median household income ranges between $75K and $92K.  $344K is the top 1% of the region.  There are about 2 million households in the region.  There are only 20,000 families that live on an income of $344K or higher.  The other 1,980,000 live on less.  More than 1,000,000 households  live on $100K or less.  More than 900,000 households live on 75K or less per year.  And that includes households in Washington DC, Montgomery County, and Northern Va.

Some of you talk about not wanting to live on less, being willing to work 2 jobs to make more to live on more.  You have such a upper class attitude and have no understanding that  there are many folks who live the lives you just talk about being better than.  I bet most of you who say that you wouldn't want to live on whatever, would not be able to hack two jobs for more than a year.  You all are too used to luxuries that you think some of them are necessities and you think it's easy to work multiple jobs, still try to negotiate affordable child care, feed and clothe a family and still see and interact with your children.  Such silver spoon babies.[/quote]

A lot of people on this forum simply lie about their incomes. [/quote]
