Financial security. What kind of silly question is this?

I have a friend who's 40. She chooses to make mid $40k. Why? "They don't have the target on their backs when layoffs come around, plus not much is expected of me."

Really silly.

The 6 figures you make is just petty cash.

In this town, 6 figures is like saying “I’d like a job above minimum wage.” we have a HHI of $300K (2 incomes of around $150k) and are still stretched with housing cost, childcare, student loans, commuting cost, 401k and all the other stuff that comes with living here.

Definitely “just middle class” by DCUM standards...
If we lived in Kansas we’d be rich...

Seven is the new six.

Yes, completely.

It's because it exceeds the number of fingers we have to the fifth power!

If you live inthe DC metro area, getting up to six figures means you might be able to buy a townhouse or condo, or go on vacation once a year. It's expensive.

In some other places I have lived six figures means you are "rich." In the DC metro it means you can survive, eat food that is better than ramen, and maybe save to buy some place to live...it won't be a SFH unless it is way out in the burbs.

I don't. I want seven figures or more.

Are you the same guy who asked why anyone would want to save for retirement?
