"in America, an income of $200,000 is NOT ... I repeat, NOT ... "middle" anything. I do not care how big your neighbor's house is."

Sorry but nothing is absolute. Said before and will say again. Hubby and I are white trash who work incredible hours at multiple jobs, seven days a week, to have had that income for a couple of years. There is nothing rich or upper about us. It's just a different choice at a specific point in our lives. Other people on CC could stock shelves in a supermarket overnight as my husband does but choose not to. I don't judge them for not doing it, but we are by no stretch of the imagination rich. Just willing to do whatever it takes to put our kids through college and grateful to have the opportunity and the strong backs.
