But could you quit your job? There’s a difference between not stressing over a car repair bill and being rich. I get that lots of other people stress a lot more, but making $300k around here doesn’t even put us in sending the kids to private school territory, or flying first class. [/quote]

So is this the metric for rich?  Don't have to work?  Financially independent?  Everyone who has to work to maintain a lifestyle is UMC or below?  I basically don't worry about money at all, ever.  I'm not extravagant, though, just as a personality type.

And, actually I absolute could quit my job if my spouse continued working.  Or, spouse could quit if I was happy to work.  We need one income to continue, but we'd still be able to save a little on either income.  We both could quit with some pretty major lifestyle changes (moving to a much cheaper area), but we'd lose a the margin that makes life easy. College contributions would be questionable, but possible.  But, this is probably a little more unusual - we save a large percentage of our income.  [/quote]
