[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having thoughts of belonging to the middle class while you afford a [b]nanny, a near million dollar mortgage, and private school[/b] is clearly a symptom of delusional rich people's disorder. [/quote]

amen and amen.

The total self absorption and delusion of people on this thread that think they're not wealthy while they manage to pay thousands (in fact more than the average American takes home in a YEAR!) for private school, etc is downright depressing.  Is this who I live around in DC?

I can't afford any of these things, but I would agree that they're trappings of an upper-middle class lifestyle for working parents in a high cost of living metropolitan area.

Comparisons to "the average American" just aren't relevant. "The average American" lives with a completely different cost of living and likely has considerably less professional preparation. He probably also lives under the assumption that almost no one is gold plated toilet seat wealthy, so upper-middle class people are "wealthy" by default because they're merely wealthier than he is. But CEOs, athletes, actors... that's wealthy. [/quote]
