[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? We (fam of 4) live outside of DC and our HHI is 160. We have no debt other than mortgage, own two Subarus, never feel stretched too thin to buy any expensive groceries or toys or kitchen gadgets we might want or need, and travel to Europe every summer. I highly doubt that we are just barely over the poverty line. [/quote] We are in the same boat. Not living in poverty. That article reeked of entitlement. It's fine to decide not to have kids, but don't blame it on the economy. Don't get me wrong. I think it's absurd that in such a wealthy country we do not have guaranteed healthcare, and the tax rate is highly imbalanced, not to mention executive pay is absurd. Things should be different. But the level of lifestyle people seem to feel entitled to is also absurd. Buying a home has always meant making sacrifices, as long as I've been an adult. It's never been something you just waltz into with no belt tightening.[/quote]
