[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]125. You all are scary wealthy and not middle class. [/quote] I definitely felt middle class when we made $110k. Expenses: Taxes: $12k Insurance: $5k Retirement: $12k Rent: $12k Utilities (including cell phones): $5k Student loans: $5k Childcare for 2 kids: $25k Cars: $6k Vacation: $2k Charity: $2k Food: $8k Gas: $8k Total: $104,000 That meant that we had about $500/month for the four of us for everything else we needed to buy from band-aids and baby bottles to car and home repairs to furniture and clothes. I'm not saying that we were dirt poor or anything. We were saving for retirement. Our kids were in a good daycare, and we had everything we needed. We had lived in Appalachia prior to that and had friends who were truly poor. But we were definitely still middle class. [/quote]
