[quote=Anonymous]I grew up very middle middle class.  Camping vacations, public schools, 1500 sq ft house in the far out burbs.  We're now at 800K HHI, 10M+ NW.  I still watch every dime.  Doesn't mean it we don't spend on nice travel, schools, cars, etc.  We also buy very good food for the home - organic everything, nice cuts of meat, etc.

But we get 10 years out of our cars which are just nice, so super luxury, we don't really buy designer anything (clothes, furniture, etc), when we travel we fly coach, we might make it to a "fine" dining restaurant a couple times a year for special occasions.  And all of that is just fine for us - it's not a sacrifice to not spend every dime, but we're not trying to hide anything either.  We also have the benefit of both of working (which also has costs), and earning pretty equal salaries.

We know families that [b]look[/b] way wealthier than we do based on consumption on a single salary, and they are likely spending every dollar they make.  So sort of the opposite of what the OP was asking about.  [/quote]
