[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder this.  
We have a HHI of close to $400K.  So by just about any standard we are doing well.  Even in NW DC we're in the top 2%.   I know we're not middle class. 
But after we pay our mortgage, save for retirement (2 401ks), save a bit for college (3 kids), pay for our kids' extracurriculars, pay for home repairs and improvements as they come up, etc
we live a pretty simple life.
We buy clothing at the Gap on sale and only when things wear out, dinners out are at Nando Peri Peri (and maybe twice a year at someplace decent downtown). 
We can afford to fly to Europe (5 tickets) every other year or so (but we watch fare sales for weeks and we scour the Airbnb listings to find a nice but cheap rental). 
So while we live a very nice life we're also watching our spending at every turn so that we can afford things like international tickets every year or so.

If $400k gets you this, who can afford all those luxuries that surround us here in DC?  I sometimes wonder.  Are there that many people who just make an infinite amount of money?

You are middle class, get over it[/quote]

SEE NOW DO YOU GET IT?????? Yes 400k in this area is middle class because with the big mortgage and (probably) student loans to pay off, you can afford nice hotels or airfare. [/quote]
Nope.  I can't figure out how all these dumbasses figure out how to even use the Internet to post here.  400k is not middle class no matter where you live.  It's simply not.  You don't get to rewrite the rules because you bought too much house and went to fancyass academy and majored in international studies.  However, 400k ain't jetsetter money so you can't expect to roll like the Vanderpumps.[/quote]

Calm down. You sound completely unhinged.[/quote]
