DP here. We live in McLean and I have a kid at Cooper. We live in an expensive neighborhood. Our house is $3m and most of the areas in our immediate neighborhood around Cooper/Langley are $2-5m.

I do not know any single moms. I do know several divorced and blended families. Dad is in the picture and we usually have a relationship with both parents. I usually text or email both the mom and dad when making plans or coordinating with the kids.

And we know plenty of high earning women. I used to be a high earning mom but I am now a sahm with 3 kids. Dh recently reminded me that I spend 10-20k on my Amex every month. I spend more now than when I actually worked.

I know there are mothers by choice but I don’t personally know any in our friend circles. In preschool, we knew one mom who was single. I never knew or asked where the dad was but she was a true single mom. She eventually moved to be closer to her family.[/quote]

Please share what you spend 10-12k on monthly in McLean, I for one am enjoying these details and find them relevant. [/quote]

We spend a lot on travel. Winter break was probably 20k. I just booked spring break and one summer camp for each kid.

I also just signed up my kids for spring sports and it cost a few grand each kid.

Trying to figure out our summer plans. We will travel half. Friend just sent us a camp that costs $5k.

We eat high quality foods so probably spend 2-3k on food. It all adds up.[/quote]

This is so pathetic new money. [/quote]

Obvi plastic surgery, laser hair removal, vaginal tightening, PRP injections, fillers, cool sculpting, , Marie Kondo/Home Edit-y thingies, etc. [/quote]

How would old money spend money?

Do old money kids not travel or play sports?[/quote]

Old money does not waste money. I face mmm have some family with new money; they RARELY travel and their kids do not do expensive activities.

You are wasting a ton per month that could be invested. [/quote]
