[quote=Anonymous]OP--you have been reading too much DCUM and the poor "woe is me" posters who claim that they are middle class on their $300K HHI. Even in the DC area, median income is between $75-90K HHI. You are around the 75th percentile in income in the DC metro area (probably about 80th-85th percentile nationwide). If you were living paycheck to paycheck, which means that you have no savings or less than one paycheck of savings and you need each paycheck to pay all of your debts and payments for the month, then you would be living beyond your means. But you are clearly living within your means on your above average salary, have a good cushion set up and are doing well. Please don't insult those less fortunate than you to suggest that you might be living paycheck to paycheck because you are so far from their reality. Whether your are comfortable with your current level of savings or not, it up to you, but it isn't because you are in any financial danger.[/quote]
