[quote=Anonymous]OP is not middle class. And $300k in DC is more comfortable than $100k in a lower COL area. No one making $100k anywhere can afford to spend $11k eating out/year. It's not your lifestyle that determines whether you are middle class - it's your income. And in DC $300k puts in the top 5-10% of earners - middle class would be more like $70-140k I would bet. Which means I'm middle class ($74k salary plus $10k child support for me plus one kid). We're fine, and can make it fine in DC, even if we're not saving as much as I'd like. And it would be harder to be a family of 4 on my salary, but it would be doable if I saved less money. But anyone living outside of their means, or who has unrealistic expectations of what their salary should afford them, is going to feel strapped at any income. [/quote]
