[quote=Anonymous]I ask this coming from a low-income background. I grew up in a high-crime, poor area. However, people would splurge on second-hand Benzes and Polo shirts (which was huge in the 80's, remember?). Now comfortable at top 2% of income range in DC. A theme on this board and in the news is that people in this top range also spend too much. Event those making high six-figures may be spending way too much on cars, private schools and homes. Hmm. Do these people really exist? While I saw people spend foolishly at the bottom, I don't see it as much where I am now. Asking out of morbid curiosity. And to be honest, out of jealously. I sometimes wish I had a nicer house and could send my kids to Sidwell. But I remind myself that while I could technically afford it, that lifestyle would totally own us.[/quote]
