[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A third of Americans earning $150,000 a year or more say they're living paycheck to paycheck and many rely on credit cards to close the gap, per Moneywise! 150k is the new 20k[/quote] And these people are unwilling to make sacrifices. No sympathy whatsoever. The standard for being middle class has changed. It used to be going to ok public schools and living in a 1,100 sq ft house. Now it's: 3,000 sq ft house, fly everywhere, good schools, centrally located, latest electronic, refuse to get college paid via GI bill, 50k new car, etc.[/quote] Public school and a 1,100 sq ft home is barely attainable on 150k in this area. [/quote] I'm a GS 11 fed making a whopping 90k and do just fine living in suburbia. I'm also a single parent of a teenager and not receiving child support. [/quote]
