[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do know that CEOs of big companies make considerably more than $250k, right? Again, serious contrast in income between the actually wealthy and those making $250k. Just because you have trouble imagining that lots of people make so much more or because you "feel rich" on less doesn't change the huge difference between the wealthy and the upper-middle class.

This is not the crux of the discussion. People don't like to hear from people making 250K that they are down and out. No matter if many others are loaded and making a lot more, that doesn't mean you deserve to be. It's amazing how dense some people are. Just because some people can afford zoos in their back yard doesn't take away from the fact that as pointed out earlier you make more than 97% of the population.

But it also does not mean that someone making $250,000 might not deserve to make 5X the median national salary, either.[/quote]

Of course not, I agree. You have me confused with somebody else. I was never saying anyone was not deserving of their salary - not an issue here. My only point is that there is justification for people getting pissy when those making 250K and above use terms like down and out or whine they aren't rich. Who cares what the definition of rich is, if you are making that much it's a lot, and if you are feeling squeezed you are not managing your money well. Move to a smaller home, go daycare instead of a nanny, don't spend 50K a year putting two kids in private school if you don't want to be squeezed. Or be squeezed, just don't bitch about it and expect people not to point out stats and question you.[/quote]
