I would say for a family of 3, around $180k-$200k would be ideal to live comfortably and not worry about budgeting each month. This leaves room for savings, groceries/food, entertainment, transportation, etc. - all of which aren’t cheap in Arlington and the surrounding area.

$180-$200 is it before taxes?

I am curious how you landed on that range? Do you mind sharing what went into this figure? Thanks!
