Which is ur problem...u can make great money but u get taxed to death and the cost of living is ridiculous...ur actually worse in Northern V then I thought u'd be in Maryland. I sorta need to do a Pentagon tour but besides the traffic and being in DC, the cost of living is horrible and I'd either have to live on one of the Posts or live an hour away and do the train thing..i can't do it man. I'm trying to get to Tampa, I can rent a good sized house with a pool and still bank 600 plus of my housing allowance. The market crashed there and people don't have a choice. If u made 150K were I was outside outside of KC..u could live on 3 acres..no neighbors...BIG house 2500 plus square feet and still be downtown in 20 minutes. Ur fucked and I understand completely.
