[quote=Anonymous]We also have $130 HHI and are in our 40's, but have a huge monthly mortgage compared to our salary so we feel poor. Our house is large, old, and in a great location. We like the top school district we're in and the neighborhood, so we've been trying to make things work here. We have a pension, a few hundred thousand in IRA savings, and we've paid off 3 years of each of our children's college education. We had no student debt by the time we met each other in our late 20's. Kids are all in public school finally and we go on a couple of cheap vacations a year. We have a cleaning person every 2 weeks. We rarely buy organic or eat out. We do have a home and cell phone and Netflix. We don't feel upper middle class although I guess we are. We're always looking for ways to save money and never feel like we're doing well enough. We've considered moving, but homes are getting expensive everywhere and we have a great interest rate.[/quote]
