[quote=Anonymous]We are at the mid upper of that range dual income and I know we are way better off then most. But I do see that my parents made much less then us but were able to do so much more. Every home they were able to purchase was new, they added a pool, a screened porch, and took a family of four skiing once a year and one time a trip to Disney. We paid off our school loans first. Then thankfully were able to buy a home, but it’s a fixer upper from 80s. No way can we swing any big add ons like a pool or deck. We can’t even afford new floors or needed updating. Our vacations are in-state attractions we can drive to. Disney will never happen for our kids. We are doing okay but with the income number I see on the paper it’s remarkable that our “lifestyle” is “less” comfortable then how I grew up in the 80s with my parents much lower income level.
