[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all need a reality check.  These people are living an UMC/upper class lifestyle.  They are rich. They are paying ridiculous prices for a whole bunch of stuff that a truly middle class family would never even consider.

In San Francisco, the most expensive city in the US, $350,000 is upper class.

Y'all talk like children.  It doesn't matter how much money you make, there's always a way to spend all of it and complain that you can't afford something else. [/quote]

Yes, but "upper class" according to this site is anyone in the top 30%. I don't personally think of the top 30% as upper class. Most people in the top 30% are working professionals. Yes, they have advantages, but those advantages all go away if they lose their cushy jobs.

FWIW the logic of "It doesn't matter how much money you make, there's always a way to spend all of it and complain that you can't afford something else." is also the logic of children. Isn't the GOP saying this about welfare recipients right now?[/quote]
