I suppose I must live in some impoverished backwater where $70K is a pretty good living.
Nice to know there are folks making that kind of money. To me that's the upper end of what could be considered any sort of "average". BTW, according to the WIKI article HERE, (which uses US gov't figures) over 90 % of American's income is UNDER 100K, so while "elitist" might be a trigger word for some, it's not wholly inaccurate.
