[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "$400k HHI is middle class!" DCUM-er[/quote]

it's not?  [/quote]

For people who grew up MC, $400k in the DC area sure doesn’t feel that much different. Still just a cog in the machine.

Just because you spend the majority of your wages on luxury items including living in high priced areas, and your remaining disposable income is the same as actual middle class families does not make you middle class.

If you own in NWDC, Bethesda, CC, Mclean, N Arlington, you are not middle class just because you've spent four times as much on your house as actual middle class people.[/quote]

To live a “middle class” lifestyle in an expensive area takes more money. It’s cheaper to live somewhere else but the income won’t necessarily follow (at least precovid).

You can live in this area and buy in Silver Spring, College Park, most of PG County, Burtonsville and have the same jobs as you have living in NWDC, Bethesda, CC, Mclean, N Arlington and have a lot more disposable income left.  Just because you CHOOSE to live in an area where the median house price is in the top 10% of the metropolitan region, and have less remaining disposable income STILL does not make you middle class.  You are upper class who chooses to spend your wealth on real estate in more desirable locations.

This is like the person who claims that they own a condo on the upper east side of Manhattan and are middle class because they don't have that much disposable income left after they pay their huge mortgage.  It's ignorant and tone-deaf.[/quote]

This deserves repeating over and over and over[/quote]
