$360,000 is probably more like 600% of their collective previous income. Most manufacturing jobs only pay about $18 an hour, at best.

I know, that if I was blessed with a large income like this that it doesn’t mean I get to go all out. At best, it’s a step up, by one step. A slightly better house and a Lexus, instead of a Ford.

It does not mean I get my own butler and cup washer.

My wife and I have done quite well and do have a comparable income to that amount.

That said, we have always purchased well below our capabilities, which is precisely within our means. We drive ‘05 and ‘08 moderately priced vehicles.

I understand that a 10,000 sq ft house with grounds is just a huge burden unless you also employ a large, competent staff. The staff is more expensive than the house.
