[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say “middle class” do you mean old days middle class, or nowadays middle class? There’s a difference. Nowadays middle class are actually pretty poor…struggling to pay bills and clipping coupons and forgoing college and health care because both are astronomical. In the old days middle class had the Subaru and took a summer vacation and so forth. Anyway, I agree with around $400k. [/quote]

Middle class is not $400K.  You are extremely wealthy, probably living in a million dollar house.  Middle class live in small, $300-400K homes max or rent.  They are living on a tight budget.  They dont' have savings, retirement, etc.[/quote]

Nonsense. Of course middle class people have savings. We live in a million dollar house - it is a 3 bedroom 1930 house on a busy road. We make over 400 K but nothing in our life is upper class - no private jets, no business class travel, no private schools. [/quote]

You are clueless.  Private jets, etc are for the very rich.  Most truly middle class people have very little, if any, savings. Definitely not while they have children at home.

One problem with DC is that so many people grew up UMC and didn’t know it. They lived in suburbs where everyone else was like them, so they didn’t know how good they had it. [/quote]
