[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes - please tell us what you're doing and what I'm doing wrong?
 
At 34, I thought I was doing well making 107K as a government contractor.

This post is telling me otherwise.

DH is 33, making 90K as a Director of Client Services (marketing).[/quote]

There is nothing you are doing "wrong." You are doing very well by the vast majority of standards out there!

Also, you have to remember that many, many of these posters are have paid/are paying their dues for their high salaries--usually in terms of long hours, high stress, and/or lots of travel. You are going to have a few that have landed dream jobs, but trust me that most people earning very high salaries have paid for them in some form or another.

DH and I are in education and gov't respectively--the pay is good, but certainly not astronomical. We can afford to send our one child to private school and own a little house in NW DC. We are happy and grateful for our stable, interesting jobs and excellent work-life balance. I think that a lot of parents in DC who work for not-for-profits and NGO-type organizations would say the same.[/quote]
