[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing you eat out all the time and constantly getting Starbucks and boba without even thinking. You have multiple streaming accounts and order from Amazon whenever you need or want something without thinking.
You get your hair and nails done every 6 weeks and buy expensive clothes. It doesnt matter how your house and car is, this 
kind of spending adds up fast! [/quote]

But if you're arguing that someone making 275K shouldn't be getting their hair done, then it does suggest that they are no longer middle class.  Certainly in previous generations, middle class people got haircuts and didn't consider them a luxury.  [/quote]
dp.. you're nitpicking.  All the things ^PP stated combined means they are spending a lot on discretionary stuff, especially if they are buying expensive cloths.  Middle class people can't buy starbucks/boba everyday without sacrificing something else.  Our HHI is about $275K, and we rarely get stuff from starbucks or boba, and we don't buy expensive clothes, or get my nails/hair done every six weeks.

We do buy stuff from Amazon, and have like 3 streaming services (and save for college, and lease a new car), but we don't complain about being "poor".[/quote]

Middle class don’t earn what you do.  We live comfortably on about half of what you make.  But no nails or hair or Starbucks.  Lifestyle choices.  [/quote]
