[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the 300K posters. You know, I'm REAL sick of the people of DCUM weighing in on what is rich and what is poor. I like the real estate forum and the MD school forum so I get my ass torn apart about once a week for living in Silver Spring and sending my kids to the DCC. Constantly trashed about living among the poors and how said it is and how most of the schools are FARMS (they are not). So hell if I'm going to come over here to the money forum and get told i'm too rich to weigh in. Sorry. I'm weighing in.

And folks, guess what? If you are ten years younger than us and make 200K you are not in a different "class" than us. Stupid term anyway. You haven't hit peak earning years yet and we have. As we look to move up once you hit mid 40s it is harder unless you are on the c-suite track which neither of us are. So it's all relative. You can hold the judgment. Yes, we do just fine. But let's all admit the incomes around here are skewed and it's a pricey place to live. We are a one car family with a three bedroom home and the four of us share a bathroom. No, it's not sad, it's not poor, and i'd never say it was. Our house is lovely and we feel fortunate that we can save and I would never argue that we aren't doing just fine. But spare me the judgment on whether I can weigh in on a middle class. Fine, I'm upper middle class.
