[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t believe that is true, can you?   Plenty of us live in places with good schools with homes that cost well under $2m.

And USC is not a school for the middle class.  [/quote]

Person with 170K family combined income who knows she is upper middle class because life just aint that hard.

I lived in a developing country where I regularly saw malnourished people who lived in cardboard and tin shacks.  To call my lifestyle anything less than middle class (or on a global scale upper class) is an insult to the suffering they go through.

Compare yourself to the global population here:

Irrelevant without taking into account COL.[/quote]

This is bullshit.  A dollar is a dollar no matter where you go.  In fact, many countries run on the dollar.  Even when you take into account cost of living, Americans are wealthier and have more luxuries (clean water right from the tap, flush toilets, abundant food which is even given away in food pantries) than most people in the world.  To live in denial of this is to be an a-hole.   Especially when the information you need to test your theory about cost of living and the reality that most of the world lives in poverty while you and I live in extreme wealth comparatively is right at your fingertips.  Prove me wrong.  With links and statistics and a comparison of cost of living.  I'll wait.
