[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to shift your mindset. If you can fly to go on vacations, sign your kids up for extracurricular programs (beyond a season or two of rev sports), not worry about the cost of car repairs or paying for dental work, order grub hub without a second thought, and save for college/retirement, you are upper class. Not super wealthy, but certainly better off than the majority of Americans. At $130k in this area that was not the case for us. We were saving a minimum (but still some), praying our 10 year old car would survive, and telling our kid he could not take piano lessons. At $200k things got much easier. At $250k we still don’t have fancy cars, splurge on designer clothes, or even really eat out much, but are able to do things like fly out west to go skiing, and I fully recognize we’re financially very fortunate.
