That was my point.
100k is still upper class. Trust me, I've lived and worked in some very expensive areas, and people making 100k (not for the household, but for one person) do just fine. I was able to rent a nice place in Seattle on much much less. Course I had a girlfriend who also worked and made good money, and I have no children, but yeah... My Frieda who clear 100k live very well.
A lot of t depends on where you are. You live in LA, right? In sure you get this.
Anyway I don't think I'm quite middle class anymore. I make less than I used to, even though I'm still quite comfortable.
I didn't mean to say "yo, I make 45k, I'm a baller!" Not at all. I meant something closer to "hey, I bring in 5 or 6 times what people under the poverty line make and I'm still nowhere near being able to buy a Fucking car every year."
The middle class doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately.
