[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a fed. GS11, making around $70k. I'm a single parent and bought a home a few years ago in DC. We're doing just fine. [/quote] How did you afford a house in DC? [/quote] DC Opens Doors and the low income tax abatement (I was making under 65k then and qualified), and I bought in a cheap but safe neighborhood. I could just barely afford to buy my house now, but instead I have a comfortable mortgage payment and I got really lucky with neighbors. You don't have to make 6 figures to live comfortably in DC, you just need to be prudent. My child is also in elementary school, so daycare expenses are much lower. [/quote] I'm another Fed single parent. 77K, one elementary aged child. I purchased in DC through HPAP and qualified for tax abatement. I purchased making 48K in 2008.[/quote]
