[quote=Anonymous]So many questions beyond the simple income number (very nice, by the way).  
How much debt did you each have on your first day of 'real work' after college? Some people had a drivable car and money in the bank, others had tens of thousands of debt. 
When did you buy your first house and how crushing was the down payment and mortgage payment at the time? Some folks bought into the Washington real estate market early, got help from family and were able to get a "one-income" single family house that they now rent out after they bought their next house. Others bought in 2006 and are hosed to this day. 
School for the kids? Some folks are doing great with public schools and other are getting a lot of help to have the kids in private. Others are paying more for schools than the average U.S. family makes for gross income ($52k).
And, like others say, some folks are just way over their heads with spending or are not saving for college/retirement. Keep working and good luck (yep, luck pays a big part too {health problems, abusive spouse, company folds/grows})[/quote]
