[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Add it up compare it to the brady bunch with both parents working two kids. Today: Decent house starts at 1 million 4500 (of course, only north Arlington is worth living in) One toyota Camry 450 (middle class doesn't buy new cars) One toyota highlander suv 450 (oh give me a break) Cleaning 250 (this isn't a middle class expense) Nanny or daycare 2800 (you'd probably go in home, so a little lower) College saving 350 (nice dream, maybe 350/year--you're counting on loans) 401k savings 800 (if you're lucky-that's a lot of money on a middle class salary) College loans 1200 (my state ones are much lower, but I don't have a fair comparison to make) Utilities 600 (for your small house, probably closer to 250-300) Food 900 (225 a week??) Gas or transportation 400 Savings 350 (if you're lucky) [/quote] All of that isn't middle class -- and isn't anywhere close to 25k in total - not even 12,,500. [/quote]
