This is an affluent forum. If you want to look at the stats, Jeff posts it on the home page for advertisers.
Where are these stats coming from?
And what is the home page for advertisers? How would Jeff know our income or net worth? At best he knows my address from which he could gather median income for my area.

You scrimp on everything with a HHI of 400k?? How is this possible?

What is your net worth?
I am specifically looking for people who pay and not use points that they accrues from credit cards or work travel.
For those of us who upgrade, usually the choice is entirely independent of HHI and independent of net worth. I have been doing it since I was 25 and underpaid - in the civil service - no inherited wealth.
You might regret that when you are 65 and cannot afford to pay your bills and need long term care at $10K+/month.
Perhaps PP is confusing upgrading (e.g., using points/miles) with paying for business class flights?

I recently paid cash for business class for a milestone trip. And for other international travel, I will generally buy premium economy nowadays.
HHI ~$1-1.5M depending on bonuses. NW ~$3M excluding home equity and 529s.
How do you make $1-1.5M yearly and only have a NW of 3M? Genuinely curious. Unless your home equity and 529s are extremely high.
We have multiple properties. Not for income, but they have appreciated substantially. They are not liquidatable easily, so i did not include. NW is higher if we include non-primary home. 529s are probably overfunded.

Not PP, but I’d rather die early than pay for long term care at $10k+/month. That’s why I’m enjoying life now.
+1. If I need long term care at 65, I’m not sticking around.
