[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I can’t believe anyone would claim $300k is barely making it. That is our HHI, and we have a very heavy student debt load to boot, and do not yet own a home — but I am under no illusions that we are doing very well and solidly upper middle class on our way to upper upper (so long as neither of us loses our jobs, knock on wood).

Hahahahaha wait til you buy a nice house and factor in any childcare or general costs of living for a family of four! In this area??? PP is RIGHT. And those of you that don’t know, dont know. [/quote]

How do we not know? I live here. I pay a mortgage and for childcare (for one kid). I've got student loans. I manage to meet all those obligations on $150K and still save plenty. Sure a family of four is going to be more (it's why we stopped at one kid), but it's not so much that you need $300k unless your requirements for a house or childcare are outside of your means.[/quote]

agree.  UNtil this person buys a home in this area and sees just what they get on that income they will then realize they are not UMC in this area. Either they will live far out and have crazy commutes or live in a crappy school district, or a small condo.  [/quote]
