[quote=Anonymous]The DMV warps your sense of money, and what "middle class" means. When you look at people and think "wow, they have a single family home with a mortgage, they must be incredibly rich," it's kind of weird. And the house they own is a total fixer upper or one of those squat DMV 1970s split levels past owners tried to "do up" by adding Greek-style columns to the front of the house. You have to remind yourself this isn't how most people live in the United States. A family income of $120,000 is good, but not in places like DC. To live comfortably middle class in the DMV, a family of four needs to bring in $250,000/year.[/quote]
