[quote=sdrealtor]While you are here CAR instead of being noticably absent from this thread do you think a $250K household income is a normal reasonable income for a couple of young 30ish public sector employees? Additionally as you often claim public sector workers are underpaid relative to the private sector do you think they’d be making over 300K in the private sector as non-business owners or SR management? You do realize that income puts them in the top 1 or 2 % of wage earners in the country and thats without considering the generous retirement contributions made on their behalf.[/quote]

I can’t tell you if it’s a “normal, reasonable income” or not. There is not enough information.

What I DO know is that many young couples (especially DINKS) can make that money — both in the private and public sectors. It depends entirely on what they do for a living and how much time they dedicate to their jobs.
