[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here You can live a traditional middle class lifestyle in a good area for about  350. The biggest bills are housing and childcare.[/quote]

I don't want to get baited into this, but, wth are you talking about?  I love the "middle class lifestyle" argument.  At 500k, your are clearing, wait for it, about $25k per month after fed and state taxes/self employment tax/AMT etc.  Donna Reed didn't have a $5k month blow habit.  The Beaver's mom didn't spend 3 weeks in Africa at an point in her life (even flying coach).  This ain't middle class.  Middle class is spending a week in a crappy house, that isn't on the beach, in Ocean City.   No flying. No cleaning service.  No weekend getaways or Acuras.  You're all nuts.[/quote]
