[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree with pp posting about how the middle class largely struggles. Plenty of people out there who are teachers, nurses, municipal employees, etc doing just fine on a 100-200k hhi [/quote] I'm the poster that talked about how the middle class struggles. But I'll clarify. I've lived in a few different places around the world, including one in which we had no running water and no electricity. I watched people struggle, really struggle, not what many define as struggling. I've watched mothers hold their babies dying of malnutrition or dehydration. When a family makes more than 90K a year total, they're in the top 10% of the world in terms of income. If a family makes more than 173K they are in the top 10% of the U.S. So, while historically, my two teacher family would be considered middle class mostly because of our profession, we are in the top 10% of the entire U.S. We are not middle class. We make a LOT of money. A LOT. [/quote]
