[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I was the first in my family to graduate college and my family lived very comfortably (nice house, vacations, college paid for, etc) off one in income earned by my dad who had just a HS diploma. It's kind of depressing how hard it is now to live a middle class life. [/quote] The problem is that there are many more dual income professional families nowadays, especially in DC area. What's important is not how much you make, but that you make MORE than all the other people who also want to buy the same limited supply of things. If I make a million a year, but everyone else around me makes 2 million and can afford to spend twice as much as I can on the same house, I'm still poor in terms of the purchasing power of that million dollar income.
