I think you need to reexamine your life.  You sound mean and angry.  What's wrong?  Upset you don't make $350k/year?[/quote]

Ha, not at all. I'm not actually the OP so I have no skin in the game, I just stepped in because the claim that a family that makes $350,000 a year couldn't afford to fly first class to Europe unless they had an inheritance was so laughable I had to say something[/quote]

I'm not the idiot who keeps insulting the other poster about her 100k income, but seriously, a family with HHI of 350k cannot afford a first class trip to Europe without outside help, saving for years, or running out of money for other things. In this area, 350k will get you a middle class lifestyle, nothing more. Expenses have gone up, and a 6 figure income doesn't get you much. To the people making less than 250k in this or other hcol area, do you have everything a middle class lifestyle provides without struggling? A family of at least 4, 3-4 bedroom house in a nice, safe neighborhood zoned to good schools, couple of moderate vacations a year, able to help with college because expenses have risen astronomically?[/quote]

HHI of about 220K and yes, we actually do.   :roll: [/quote]
OP here. I'm glad you're rolling your eyes! The PP above you is challenging you that you cannot have a middle class life here on less than $250K. How do you think that makes the family making $100K feel? Or $80K?  Because they live here too. And they vote!
