[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why people find this hard to believe. Data shows what a lot of you don’t like so you’re disagreeing with it. Typical of Americans

The truth of the matter is middle class and upper middle class people buy a lot of things that are a luxury. Baby boomers lived on a lot less and also had a lower standards of what a middle class life consists of.

and don’t get me started on upper middle class hyper educated people who want to live like the wealthy on a umc income.

Too many upper middle class people conflate themselves with independently wealthy people because they tend to be in the same settings as them. [/quote]

Baby boomers went without? My baby boomer dad bought a lunch box mac and every month we ran out of money. My favorite was when he thought we had 300 dollars when we had 3. I never forgot it. I was 10. My Dad had a very good job, excellent benefits--he made probably 150k in today's dollars. My mother was just as bad buying all sorts of expensive hand bags and jewelry. My gen X spouse and I don't spend like that. At All![/quote]
