[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because 85% of my pay is spent on taxes, savings, childcare, mortgage and education.

One day I’ll be rich when the kids go off to college.  Until then most of my money is going to the future full pay college, childcare required to keep my high paying job and savings.  [/quote]

This is ridiculous. We are in the same position. I feel rich because we can do all these things and not really worry. People in similar circumstances who don't feel rich are whiners with no sense of perspective.[/quote]

Gosh, is that some people think “rich” is now? The act of saving money and not being stressed? That’s sad because that used to qualify as middle class.  You know all the stories of “we were middle class, but we had all we needed.”  Now simply saving money puts you in the rich category.  I suppose myself and some others still think of rich as oodles of money and jewels and mansions, and all that jazz. 500k is affluent, but rich means rich.[/quote]

The key word here is need. There are a lot of things people have that they don't need. [/quote]
