[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

1. I am not "gaming the numbers" by presenting net instead of gross. I could be grossing a million a year, and it would be meaningless to my point, which is that $70k after taxes is a very nice living.

2. This was to refute DCUMers who have said, not on this thread but on others, that $100k for a single and $250k for a family barely qualifies as middle class. I was trying to inject a dose of reality, and some posters - not the snotty ones above - got and agreed with my point.

3. I posted in the section of this site that is clearly labeled "non-parenting forums." Are you so resentful or think less of childfree people that non-parents are not allowed to post on [i]non-parenting threads?[/i] What exclusionary snobs you are.

4. Finally, you still insist on criticizing me for not maxing out my retirement, even though I am exceeding the recommended amount.[b] At the same time, you'll jump to the defense of people who are unable to support themselves, and give all sorts of support to people who have spent irresponsibly.[/b]

There are plenty of people posting here without children, but I'm done. Goodbye and good luck. [/quote]

I'm not sure who is jumping to defend people on welfare and such??    Not on this thread.

However, I do agree with your overall premise. I net less than you (with one kid) and I find the 300k posters very annoying.[/quote]
