40K in MoCo
No mortgage, DH bought house with first DW 20+ years ago.
If it weren't for the house, we couldn't afford to live here. Wish I could convince DH to sell and move closer to Baltimore where my family is. He wants to stay because of the schools.

There are plenty of people in DC who make less than $50k. Or even less than $30k.

Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, hotels, associations, etc all have employees and managers. Where do you think they live......in Delaware? Get real.

Hard to believe but there are whole neighborhoods of us - just not the neighborhoods that some would find acceptable.
We make $93k and own a house inside the beltway in Silver spring. We bought for $310k in 2003 with 5% down. Our mortgage payment (with taxes and fire insurance) is $1900.

We own.
Mortgage is $1400 and something, right now we pay $1500 (extra principal).
Current mortgage balance is $190k, originally borrowed about $245k in 2003 - that includes some money borrowed for construction loan (house was a foreclosure). House cost $225k. (Now worth about $650k).
Not sure your motivation in asking this question, but I think we live well. I normally save about $600 a month, plus the max for retirement accounts, save for kids college, eat out a lot (probably too much) and go on vacation/trips several times a year. We tend to be frugal when we can and have no childcare costs or debts.
This was me and you would be "betting" wrong. I live in NW DC.
you got lucky, the next generation will never experience doubling of their house value in a a few years.
