[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am jealous of higher incomes.  We make in the low 100's combined and both have advanced degrees.  It's not a bad salary to live on, but it's really hard to get ahead.  We don't own a home, but pay so much in rent that I don't know how we'll ever save up for a down payment (or another car or child care, etc.).  I am constantly stressed about money.

There are a couple of things that get me on DCUM.  One is when people with high incomes write things about how people like me should just throw in the towel because they'll never be able to make it.  It makes me feel like they think my life doesn't have value because I don't make more money.  The other is when people with high incomes complain about how they can't make it on some super high salary but they're living so extravagantly.  It makes me think that many wealthier people have no idea what it's like to be middle class or poor, but more importantly, that they don't care.  It makes me sad about the state of the country.

I like to think that the anonymity is what allows people to be so horrible and that they'd be kinder if we were having a conversation face to face, but sometimes it's hard to give the benefit of the doubt.[/quote]
