[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you are rich.  UMC is Middle class - $80-120K in this area.  This is silly to pretend you are middle class on $200K or more income and that much in savings.  Middle class generally don't have that kind of savings and live pay check to pay check.  If you live in a million dollar house you are not UMC.  If you earn what is posted here, you are not UMC.[/quote]

PP: that was my point in my earlier post. Our income is high, but culturally we feel UMC. We have to work to support ourselves. I work until midnight many nights and DH and I both work for a portion of most weekends. Obviously many people with lower incomes also work this hard, and as I noted I'm aware of where our income falls in a distribution, but our lifestyle is basically the same as a family making $200k/year.[/quote]

Your post says you are completely unaware.  You are earning what?  $300-500K and think its comparable to $200K.  Many professional jobs work that many hours.  You are completely unaware of how others live.  We make $140-160K depending on the year and live in a fixer upper we bought for $360K that is 900 square feet.  We are more in line with UMC in this area and I don't consider us UMC.   You are no where culturally UMC.  You probably own two nice cars, child care, a nice bigger house, housekeeper and multiple vacations a year.  You aren't living anywhere close to where we are.[/quote]
