[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've read all these threads about the 250K crowd saying they are not rich. The problem is that the prevailing attitude of these posters is, that after their really nice house, private school, retirement and savings, and top of the line health insurance, they don't have that much left over. What they don't seem to get is that there are people out there without decent/any health insurance, retirement and savings, and nice homes in safe neighborhoods who also don't have a lot leftover.

They are clueless.

And FWIW, I grew up very comfortably and our two income house makes 170K. So I'm clueless too but at least I can admit it and know enough not to complain and condescend people making less than me about what my income can buy. Newsflash: we know you don't have gold-plated toilets, but yeah, you're still pretty rich, or at least better off than most of the world. I don't begrudge people their high salaries either. Good for you if you bring in a good income - just don't lament about how people don't understand what that amount of money can buy. [/quote]

Thats bullshit and you know it. ANYONE OF YOU i make less then 200k a year and have hice house people live with in your means people. WHEN DID YOU BUY YOUR HOUSE, how much is worth now and what is your mortgage. A lot of us who bought later would most hapily trade our salary for yours if we could get the same deal on your house you did.[/quote]

Guess what?  NOT EVERYONE OWNS A HOUSE.  My family makes under $100K/yr.  We rent.  I in no way compare myself to a family making $11K (or less) a year.  Which is what 10% of the people in DC are trying to do.

You need a serious dose of perspective.  It's people like you who make DC suck.[/quote]
