[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who makes somewhere between 3M and 5M a year depending on a number of international factors, I have far more respect for the folks who make 100k and appreciate it than for the various slugs who trumpet their 200-500k salaries while looking down on people who make less. And I know who I'm far more likely to take under my wing for new business ventures.[/quote]

Get over yourself. No one needs or wants you to take them "under your wing." Such a paternalistic comment..although I'm sure desperate OP might appreciate the offer. [/quote]
I had the opposite impression. It struck me that he or she was more respectful than those earning mid-six figures. I've found that throughout life, though. The people at the very top (earning millions a year) are often much more polite and considerate since they have nothing to prove than those who are merely wealthy (earning $300,000 or $400,000 a year). It's the latter group that tends to be so full of themselves.[/quote]

Not everyone earning 300-400k a year is full of themselves, but 3-5M poster definitely is. I agree some of the PP's have been rude to OP (calling her grandma and old lady isn't right) but no one has stated she is less than them because of her salary. People have offered their opinion on what's middle class but no one has said she is unworthy or unsuccessful in life, even if they consider her salary to be low. Perhaps OP should consider why her self worth is so rooted in her income and what others think of it. [/quote]
