[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess OP, you live in Arlington or Mclean?[/quote]

Oh definitely.  Maybe Bethesda.  I live around people like this, and the wives sit at home thinking their husbands are fat execs when mommy and daddy gave one or both of them 500K to put towards their first home as a wedding present.  Makes me want to vomit. [/quote]

I was the PP who mentioned Arlington/Mclean.

Neighbor across the street bought a new build and the wife stays at home.
I still remember her mentioning the family home in Maine.

I LOL and said most be nice to have somewhere to runoff to leave the madness.[/quote]

So common around here and I feel like they truly believe that's how everyone lives.  It is AMAZING and then they will look at you straight in the eye, in front of their 1.5MM home, and tell you he is a consultant at Deloitte, etc.  Or worse, works for the government.... ugh.[/quote]

No family help.  DH worked for AC.  Smart enough to leave in his late 20s and go independent.  Began making high 6-figures by early 30s.  I'm a GS-14 with good benefits.  We've a HHI of 400k-750k since 30 years old now 46.  We own an $800k house in the city almost paid off (we have been renting it out ) and a $1.1 million house (now around $1.3m).  We used to get a lot of snotty comments and assumptions, e.g., dumbasses that don't know specialty software consultants can make upwards of $600k/year.  Oh well.  I drive an old, dented Japanese car to boot that I love like my firstborn.

So,  pp, You should take a long look in the mirror and see somebody that doesn't have a F-king clue and is a spiteful, empty person.

Please your DH wasn't that brilliant, he cashed in on the contracting and defense boom of the bush years, just like today's inventor of 'Yo!'[/quote]

Umm.  No.  He doesn't do defense or govt contracting.  He started out when Clinton was President and was not tech boom.  Hard work and brilliant.[/quote]
