[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. I started this thread to make a point: That despite many DCUMers being incredulous that families can have a comfortable, middle-class lifestyle on less than $250k and/or believing that income below $100k is poor for singles (some people even said it was nearing welfare eligibility!), people are doing just fine on less. I wanted to insert a dose of reality into the forum.

Again, my $70,000 spending level includes not only regular living expenses, but contributions to my retirement plan and health insurance/medical costs. How much my actual salary is is irrelevant. Even if I made $200,000 a year (yeah, I wish), all I really need is $70,000 after tax.

(And for those of you defending me against the people bitching at me, thank you.)[/quote]

Thank you, OP for starting this thread. You have gavin me the biggest belly laugh I've had all week.

Of course you feel comfortable. You make alot of money and have no responsibilities except to yourself.  Many of us have been where you are now and we are telling you YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. So just stop.

P.S. You really, really should max out your retirement savings now. Again, many of us have been where you are. You won't regret it. You're welcome.[/quote]
