[quote=Anonymous]OP, the people on DCUM are not truly representative of DC Metro.  Most of the people who troll or post on DCUM have HHI over 250K and they still consider themselves the working poor or lower middle class.

There are thousands of people who live in DC proper and the suburbs who are living comfortably on less than 120K HHI.  Yes, child care will be expensive, but the $1800 per month qipted is not typical.  It is on the high end of the spectrum.

I attended school in Tallahassee, Go Noles, and lived in Florida for 10 years.  I could never have earned the income through career advancement in Florida, as I have been able to earn in this area.  The job upward hopping simply was not available in any jurisdiction in Florida.  If your husband was offered a job for 60K in the government, I must assume that he is young in his career.  There are opportunities for advancement in the federal government in Washington, not so many in Florida.  Also, once he has made advancements in his federal career in this area, your DH would have an opprotunity for lateral transfers to different areas in Florida.

GL with your decison, but take DCUM with a shot of vodka.  [/quote]
