[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Beverly Hills. The housing is so expensive here that even with our $1 million income, after paying a $20,000 mortgage, exclusive private schools for the three kids, the carrying costs on our ski cabin in Aspen, and the nanny, we don't have enough left to pay for the Ivy League educations our kids will have. So we are middle class. Get it?[/quote] Is this a joke?[/quote] Yes, of course it's a joke. It's exaggerating what the $400k+ posters are claiming - that after they pay for their expensive NW house and the costly private schools, the contributions to the 401k, college, and investment accounts, they don't have a lot left over - and hence they say they're middle class. What they fail to get is that the middle class can't afford the lifestyle/location they enjoy.[/quote]
