[quote=Anonymous]The more you have, the more you spend. As a previous poster said, when you have two parents working jobs that require long hours/commutes, you have daycare/aftercare payments, two cars to pay for and maintain, you eat out more, you outsource cleaning and yard work and such. These become "necessities" in order for you to live the life that you want--working hard and enjoying your family. Not necessities on the same level as "food on the table and hot water" but necessities nonetheless based on your lot in life. Because, why work hard to make $300k/year if you are going to spend all of your free time cooking/cleaning and never have quality time w/your family? Also, most people who make high incomes have a lot of education. That means a combo of a) student loans and b) college savings plans for their children (as education is a top priority in their family). Adding that all up, you feel poor, because most of your $300k salary is spoken for. [/quote]
