Not this again.  Yes, it is.  By every measure it is.[/quote]

It’s a ton of money. If you can’t figure life out in that budget you definitely have lost the plot. [/quote]

It just isn’t. [/quote]

$300K a year is alot of money even in DC. If you can't see that, you are seriously living in a bubble. [/quote]

If you are living in one room, don’t have kids, or school debts, medical issues or any other expenses it’s a lot. With kids and those other it’s UMC in DC if that. [/quote]

Some people around here really do live in a bubble - hopefully you realize that very few people in this country or region are upper Middle class - maybe 3-4% of the population?

We have a HHI of about 200K and live in a desirable close-in neighborhood in a nice house with pretty high housing prices and are doing just fine - our kids do all the activities, we max out our retirement savings and save a pretty good amount every year in their 529's and usually take 2 nice out of town trips per year.  Sure we drive a 10 year old car and have to stick to a budget and don't eat out too much nor do we do an expensive vacation in Vail or the USVI but we are doing just fine on way less than 300K and consider ourselves to be very fortunate.[/quote]
