[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True middle class cannot afford full college, full retirement and own a nice home. You all are upper middle class or rich.[/quote] This. I grew up true middle class- we were never wanting for shelter or food, but my parents weren't really able to set anything aside for college and their retirement savings is not sufficient. We rarely went out to dinner, pizza delivery was once a month and determined by who had the best coupons. We were each allowed to do ONE extracurricular that required money. Like literally one 1-hr dance class. Vacations were mainly camping or to visit family. We make around $230k combined and sure, this area is expensive so it feels like not much is left once we pay the mortgage, save for college, retirement, and pay for childcare. But the point is we can do all these things! We don't sweat every little purchase or eating out, our kids are still young but if one wants to do a travel sport one day we can let them.[/quote]
