[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trust me, DCUM is not the best place to ask this question.  Most of the people on here think you're poor if you make less than $100k.  And that isn't true.

Agreed.  DCUM is about 90% rich elitists who insist that they are middle class on $300K, when in reality, the middle class of the DC metro area is about $75-90K, which is about 150% of the national income of the middle class (roughly $50-65K).  Since they consider themselves middle class with 400% of the income of the true middle class, you can expect to get a truly distorted view of the world and the answer to this question from this demographic.[/quote]

You forget about taxes, my democratic friend. A person making $300k gets taxed down to $150k take home pay. The person making $90k is taxed down to about $65k. The differences in income are not that great between these two hypothetical ppl.

Also, keeping. $300k job sometimes requires you to participate in some social activities that the less well off don't worry about.
