[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP.  I'm a single mom to one school aged child.  I make around $50K per year and I feel well off.  We have enough to eat, we live in a safe home, my son goes to a great public school, I have enough to pay all of my bills.  Yet someone else would say someone earning $50K can't possibly live well in this area.  We can and we do.[/quote]

Are you planning to live on social security in retirement?[/quote]

Not the PP, but same demographics on just under 70K a year. I feel the same. I have a pension, save 15% towards retirement (plus match), and mortgage will be paid off the year my little one hits undergrad. I'll be 44. Can retire at 50. Live in DC and love our place. I probably eat out and travel more than the average person on DCUM. Childcare costs are $0, mortgage is super low, SL debt is nearly paid off and $60/month. My ex and I stagger our schedules to avoid before/aftercare fees. [/quote]

Okay, I'm game. How much do you spend per month, or however you track it, on travel and eating out?[/quote]
