[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Actually, an 850k house in an affluent neighborhood is exactly what most people cite when they think of someone with a higher income (it is also very tangible, by the way). To your main point - you have many choices, you chose an 850k house. You dont need that house. If you came in to work and told your boss you were moving to south Arlington, Woodbridge, Springfield, Burke, silver spring, PG, would your salary change? You want to be in an affluent, close in neighborhood, so you choose to pay more for that. If I choose to buy an 850k unicorn horn with a high income, that doesn't make me middle class just because it isn't something people "cite when they think of someone with a high income". I chose to buy it, I had the money to pay for it, which means I now have less money left for other things, but it doesn't magically make me middle class. [/quote] I agree with this 100%! [/quote]
