[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up what I'd consider lower middle class, as in, there was never a question of "what do you want for dinner tonight?" It was always leftovers or whatever was on sale that day at the supermarket. We were never hungry, though, so I wouldn't say I grew up poor.

DH and I bring in around $350K. We live in a 3 bedroom row house in Adams Morgan. I walk to work. We pay a nanny and have older kid in private half-day preschool. We travel to Canada and Europe at least once a year to see family and we take another vacation within driving distance. I shop at Nordstrom Rack and Trader Joe's and get all the "necessary ingredients" (bread, some produce, fish) at Whole Foods. We have pension funds and our house is almost paid off.

I feel very very rich on $350K. SURE, we're not raking in millions but we have options, we are safe, and we do feel responsibility to support others, including by donating to charities and being active volunteers in our community.

Anyone living on annual income on this order of magnitude should feel very lucky indeed.

As for the article, it misses the point entirely but I have a 3 month old who wants milk so can't type why at the moment...[/quote]

What??!!! You give your baby regular milk and not almond milk or soy milk!!  What do you do with all of your extra MONEY!!

Rich people...
