[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP, where do we fit?

- 1800 sq ft house in Shaw (worth approx $900k, but mortgage is practically paid off)
- Eat out regularly at wide variety of popular and sometimes trendy DC restaurants but not interested at either of the two places you mention
- The one time I've been to a ball game it was club seats, but generally I'm not interested in baseball and the tickets were a gift. Occasionally go to the Kennedy Center or to theater. More often go to 930 club or Lincoln theater to see live music. No interest in opera or ballet.
- take multiple trips and vacations throughout the year, usually including one trip to Europe (two weeks) or the west coast, a week in Maine, and multiple other trips, to the beach or to cities within 3 hours drive. Used to own an ocean front vacation condo in Florida but sold it (bad investment) - now we rent which makes much more financial sense.
- kids go to local public charter school.

Based on this do you declare me middle class, poor or upper middle class?

Selfish upper-class who are too cheap to send their kids to private.[/quote]

Ok, PP, I'll respond. I don't believe in private school so wont be sending my kids to one even if we could afford it, but what you really need to know is that if you looked at our HHI you and most of the other snide privileged posters here would define us as "poors".  Until recently our HHI was under $100k. It's now jumped to about $130k. [/quote]
