Jesus, another of these stupid posts. Learn to use the search function – this has been discussed in this forum ad nauseam.

Who are all of you people that are so obsessed with status and class? Are you like this in real life or is DCUM just your private outlet? When you make the jump from $190,000 to $200,000 in income, will you finally feel worthy?

Why do you click on this if your nauseous by them? There must be something wrong with you.

OP- yes DCUM will forever be "obsessed" with money class and status. It's taboo to talk about IRL

Create a friends circle that makes 50% less than you HHI. You'll feel rich.

Is this the same poster who is worried what others think because they make $200k and feel like they’re richer than the friends they went to high school with?

Thank you for letting me know. I just thought it was interesting and then I’d share. I didn’t mean to be controversial..

Thank you for posting this information. Helpful for those who can work 100% remote.

Somewhat surprised by the relatively low income figure for average income of the top 20% for Philadelphia.

You need to have a trust fund for your kids. Pay for their private school, private college, dental work, nose job, college counselors, wedding, car, condo, school for their kids, college for their kids. Otherwise you are trash parents.
