[quote=Anonymous]There is so much money and excess in this area, it is mind bending. Thing is we don't all start on the same stair. What kills me is when people don't recognize that not having student loans gets you so much further ahead of those who do. I am 40 years old and will be paying my sl until I am 52 unless something radically changes. We bought a house in 2010 for 535k with 0 down. VA loan. We could not have done it without that. Years in combat my husband served made it possible. Otherwise we would still be renting for $1350 in roslyn, 650 sq feet one bedroom condo. Check out realty usa, that's where we found the condo. We can easily make our 3k mortgage payment but homeownership would not have been possible for us without the VA loan. We also bought in S Arlington, oh the horror! I am sure some of our friends are horrified. Oh well. The sooner you recognize that in DC most people have more than you, the easier it is to move on and accept what you have.[/quote]
