[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trust me, DCUM is not the best place to ask this question.  Most of the people on here think you're poor if you make less than $100k.  And that isn't true.

Agreed.  DCUM is about 90% rich elitists who insist that they are middle class on $300K, when in reality, the middle class of the DC metro area is about $75-90K, which is about 150% of the national income of the middle class (roughly $50-65K).  Since they consider themselves middle class with 400% of the income of the true middle class, you can expect to get a truly distorted view of the world and the answer to this question from this demographic.[/quote]

I am an independent voter that leans left.  I am a liberal in most of my views.  [b]$300 in DC is ABSOLUTELY MIDDLE CLASS[/b].  Sure they might be able to save, but ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!!  If you are making the wages you are talking there is NO WAY...NOT A WAY IN HELL, that you are saving enough for retirement unless you have an employer paid pension or no mortgage.  I make 100K it is like slave wages here.  So the people that make $10 an hour...IMAGINE how they are living.  [b]$300K is just another slave in DC.  The house slave.[/b][/quote]

This is ridiculous and just insulting to people who really are scraping by, not to mention descendants of slaves.[/quote]
