[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is either being sarcastic, humble-bragging, or trolling.

The average family earns $60k. At that level, they probably rent a one-bedroom apartment (if a couple) or a two-bedroom (if they have one or two kids). They shop at cheap grocery stores, eat out at Applebee’s or Olive Garden once in a while, and vacation is a 10-hour drive to visit a grandma in Wisconsin in their old car.

Move up to the $100k range for a family of four, and now you can think about buying a modest townhouse with three bedrooms in an outlying suburb. A vacation now can be a trip to the beach, and meals out can be nicer mid-range spots like Clydes.

Move up to $150k,  and the family can look to buying an older and smallish SFH in the outer suburbs. Vacation is a flight to Disneyworld, and dinner out is at L&N Seafood.

Now we’re at $200k. That’s means a nice 4-bedroom, 3-bath house, and a more elaborate vacation such as a ski trip to Vail or a cruise through New England and Canada. upper-middle class.

At $300k, you will qualify for a house near $1 million dollars. You are affluent. Stop complaining.[/quote]

If you think a trip to disney is cheap, or a family at $200K is taking ski trips to Vail, I suggest you get your head out of your ass and learn about finances before you judge others.
