Can ya afford groceries this week? If yes, you’re good. For this week.
Brilliant!
My wifes side of the family are all firefighters in a large city.
Her cousin retired recently at age 56. His pension is $148k per year.
Every time I go to her family reunions I have to bite my tongue. All they do is complain about how bad their jobs are and how poorly they.
So poorly paid the majority her uncles were all ff, her cousins as well as her nephews.
Nepotism at it’s finest.
Makes me sick to my stomach how they complain and they all vote lib democrat
Left out the most important factor...overall WEALTH!
Income is a measure...but overall not even the most important measure of where one “fits” into a financial society...unfortunately!
In fact, income may not allone even be a factor that can help you change your level /place or position in a monetary society....”your income may never be high enough to change your place”...that’s why, of course, money and wealth is not everything in life nor is it the fruit that brings you true happiness.
Your location also has a major impact on how you feel you stack up class-wise. “Making $120,000 per year is a lot different in small-town Indiana than it is in New York City,” says Frank Newport, senior scientist at Gallup.

This. This is almost as important as income in determining where you are in the income class structures here in America.
A $500,000 home in California could be had for $150,000 in Normal America.
The answer IS that simple: I’m comfortable; I’m happy, because I make other people happy and I help others that truly need my help.
Also, after many, many days and hours and restarts and delays, I FINALLY made it to Diamond City. I let Piper know Laz was doing well.
Next question.
Sure it’s simple.
I. DON’T. CARE.
I like the older Chris Rock routine.
Shaq is rich. The guy who signs Shaq’s paycheck is wealthy.
$350k is “rich”?? Not after taxes.
Here is an article from earlier this month that focuses on wealth.

It depends on where you are. A household income $350K in Manhattan,2 adults and 2 kids,would probably make you middle class. In most parts of Georgia (or Iowa) it would make you damn rich.
I noticed that. Very strange!
We may not have a bunch of money but we are rich.
In Colorado, it’s a nice living but far from rich.
I am so sorry.....

But how about the rest of the state?
Not cheap anywhere, really. So many people love the area that even the remote plains and mountains areas are also on the higher side.
In the metro area where I live a 4 bedroom house averages $500-$600K. How about Greater Denver?
