[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't entirely get what you are trying to say. In DC, an income at the low range of the UMC scale will not make you working poor. At worst, middle class. That is why there is a scale-to account for cost of living.

That is simply ridiculous ... a d shows how out of touch with realty for the vast majority - we are in that range in this area and have a wonderful quality of life.

Even if you adjust the numbers for DC cost of living, the numbers cited by PP were silly - I million a year and not UMC. Smacks of social climbing: status  symbol chasing while all important needs in life - shelter in safe area, food, and access to quality healthcare and education can easily.
No way does earning national average for UMC in DC area make you working poor / even if you triple the figures you are below threshold for IMC cited by PP.[/quote]
How much do you think it costs for a family to live on?[/quote]

I would say the Upper-middle class $106,827 - $373,894 is about right depending on individual family spending patterns. I know many people in that bracket in this area who have done really well in all the important areas - noce but modest homes in areas with good schools, medical insurance, sometimes private schools, lots of sports, tutors and music lessons for their kids.
