[quote=Anonymous]I grew up actually middle class (well under $100k HHI) and with a HHI of $250k I don't feel like what I'd characterize as middle class. We live comfortably in a nice, renovated house in a low-crime area near public transit and with decent public schools. We can buy what we want without stressing or worrying, we don't really budget because we're not stretched although we also don't splurge on things we don't need (mostly because that's not what makes us happy). We go on nice vacations. We have decent savings. Our kids get the lessons and activities they want and need. I am positive our lifestyle would feel very middle class to many of you. But for me, relative to what I grew up with and saw family and friends grow up with, and what I know is typical across the country (not just in our white-collar DMV bubble), we are way more comfortable and well-off.[/quote]
