You are doing well. But the judge is correct.


Please. That judge is in a total bubble. Even in Arlington, that's good money. Yes, there are waaaay richer people, but that is still way way above the median income.

It is not how much you make, but how much you save. If you make $1M and full of debt, are you calling yourself a middle class?

How about for those of us making less than 100k a year. That's quite a bit different than making 6 figures.

Well, that's us. But what about the people making $100k, or $50k combined? Do they need another category, or a whole 'nother forum? Seriously.

That is pretty much the theme of 50% of DCUM posts. The other 50% are people who make twice that and who still feel broke.

= there's never enough.

Seriously, no all of us on here have million $ homes, nannies, maids, and go on $10k vacations a year. What about the lower middle class (and I say that b/c that's how I feel in the DMV) even though I know we wouldn't be lower middle class in other parts of the country?
