[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so stupid. I make $150,000 a year and I feel very rich (though with no kids).  That doesn’t mean I have no limitations on my spending, and someone who makes $850,000 a year we also have limitations on their spending.

I’m Republican but threads like this pull me somewhat more leftward. Above a relatively moderate income/net worth, money just becomes, at best, about these trivialities or, worse, about greed and status-chasing.[/quote]

Did you read the lady’s post? You cannot provide a strong education and [b]a room for every kid in a safe part of NYC on 850k.[/b] She’s not asking for a private jet and house on Jupiter Island, more just the bare minimum. [/quote]

This part is pretty funny.  The majority of the middle class areas in NYC are actually pretty safe or, at least, no more dangerous than the Upper East Side.  She can definitely afford those areas on her salary (and send her kids to private schools if publics are not to her liking), but she thinks those areas are beneath her.[/quote]
