[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's anything wrong with people having different standards than you. People who work harder than average, stayed in school longer than average, and work longer hours than average to make more money do expect a certain standard of living. It can be a surprise to learn that in places like DC and NYC, not even 300k gets you a truly lavish lifestyle. The trappings that you worked for (yes, worked for!) are harder to get and harder to keep than they were for your parents' generation and it stinks. The income needed to attain what was once considered the upper middle class dream is more like upper class tier money. That is what OP of that thread meant and I think you know that, but your class envy is getting in the way. Using your logic, not even the poor in DC are truly poor because there are Bangladeshis poorer than them. And the Bangladeshis had better not complain because there are Syrians poorer and being hunted as we speak.[/quote]
