[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhat recently making 7 figures, having started from humble roots.  I am deeply grateful to feel secure financially, assuming I can keep my employment trajectory.

What's crazy is that it seems like you need to make this much around here to feel like you are set with the american dream:

Owning a single family home (and all the upkeep that entails)
Sending kids to college
Saving enough so we can have a (hopefully) financially secure retirement one day
Family vacations
Two cars
Making sure parents are taken care of

I think over time, we should be able to do all of the above relatively comfortably....but shouldn't most of the population?  I feel we can only do all of this stuff because of a very high income.  What does that say about the expected standard of living in America??
