[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for my wife and I (54 & 51, respectively), our $350K doesn't look so bad.[/quote]

Compared to normal, middle America -- nope, not bad at all. On DCUM -- OMG I don't know how you sleep at night bc these people had 350k saved up individually while single at age 30.[/quote]

yea, and and the average american is a fat pig. Should I be proud that I'm a size 14 and not yet insulin resistant?

i'm not really thrilled to get the award for being the tallest midget.[/quote]

So then go save up to make sure you have $3 million or $5mil or $10 mil at age 51. Leave the people alone who have only managed to amass 350k. You've already "won" compared to them. How insecure are you that you need validation after you already have much much more than them?[/quote]

what are you even talking about? I'm 40 and have 500K, i will be no where near 3M by 51. And who exactly am I bothering? I don't give one single solitary fuck how much or little anyone else has.  However, I'm not at all comforted by being an average American in any way shape or form.[/quote]
An average American is a high school graduate, earning around $35,000, living in a modest $200k home (or renting), and maybe....just maybe....has $5,000 or $10.000 in the bank.

Those of us who are proud that they we have saved $350k or $500k are substantially above average. Be proud of your achievements, and [b]don't let these DCUM elites talking about $2 million being typical in DC make you think you're pulling up the bottom.[/b] [/quote]

Uh I don't you weirdo. Unlike YOU, I'm not obsessed about what others think. i'm happy where I'm at. Try focusing on yourself and not the "elites" as you call them and you will not be so miserably wretched.

Get a life, seriously. You sound pathethic.[/quote]
^^^ Wow. There are some nasty people on DCUM is all I can say![/quote]

Well the poster is correct and probably the only sane one. Who are you people who are so obsessed with how much you do, or do not measure up? Are you that unhappy with yourself that you fixate on what other people are doing with their money?[/quote]
