Just going to ride this one into the ground aren't you Hildy, again the question is, where do the Damned get their mula? Brenda stays home all week, getting ready for her weekend "thing" and he travels a lot? Where? What does he do while on the road. These folks have a lot of questions to answer, a lot!!!

You're the one riding this into the ground...it is not unusual for an engineer to travel. This is Qualcomm country here, I know many Qualcomm engineers and have have worked in the wireless industry. The community the Van Dams live in is a common area for people who work in the high-tech industry. Engineers make good money here and are in demand. You just don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe she has a weekday thing going on too which brings in money, a home-business that keeps her busy until the weekend comes?

I have friends and relatives living in the San Diego area. One of which is a consulting engineer in the tech field. He makes about $120k a year, travels quite a bit, paid big bucks for a modest home, and has a stay at home wife and a few kiddos.

San Diego is an expensive place to live..but usually those who live there draw a salary to prove it.
