[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one who can afford that list of things in the DMV is middle class. That’s the way it is these days. The superrich have hollowed out the middle class. [/quote] +1. I grew up real middle-class. Never wanted for food or shelter, but no way were we getting new clothes all the time. My mom sewed most of our clothes until we rebelled and we had a very strict budget. Only one extra-curricular activity that cost money, and even then, if it was dance, then one dance class. Rec soccer, not a travel league. Very small college savings. We have a similar HHI to OP, and no we can’t do everything, we have to make compromises, but we can sure do a lot more, and have more financial security, than my parents had. I complain about my shitty 1940s house all the time, but still try to keep in perspective how fortunate we are.[/quote]
