[quote=Anonymous]We make 90k and had to move to Manassas to afford a house. We can't afford a great school district. We are not poor as the poor can't buy a house anywhere. We are middle class. If your house is in NW DC, Arlington, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, etc and you feel like you're middle class, it's because you've lost perspective due to your neighbors. You might be poor man on the block but compared to everyone else you're basically rich. You aren't living paycheck-to-paycheck, you've got more than a couple hundred in savings, you probably have your retirement account maxed, you can afford to save for your kid's college while still supporting your family, you're in a good school district in one of the 10 most expensive counties in the country, etc. [/quote]
