In the poor house.

Well, according to this survey you need an income of $150,000 to have the basics, some extras and save. Crap, I'm in the poor house then.

Expenditures always rise to meet income - unless you live below your means.

NRiderUSA · 04-03-2012, 06:57 PM

wow...wasnt there a report that said something about approx 40K being the average income in America?
Guess that means the "recovery" isnt really recovering to well?

Can I be your neighbor?

Yeah, I even had to switch from the reserve cabernet to the two buck Chuck at Trader Joe's. Come on this is a USA mindless piece of drivel. A comparison of income without the context of where you live is asinine. Living in Manhatten on $150K and you're a pauper. Live on the same in Rockford, Illinois and you live like a king. It's all relative to the metro area you live in.

Thanks Stan, burst my bubble.

I was just getting in line to get some of that wealth redistribution.

BD said he would give me a couple of million dollars he doesn't use.

Wife's a CFO with an environmental sciences firm and I'm a vascular access specialist. We're living in the SF Bay Area and we certainly aren't livin' large. It's all relative.

$150,000, well I used to make that. Took me two years to do it though. Live very small here in north Alabama. Takes me about 5 years to make that amount now.

Loafer · 04-04-2012, 06:55 AM

Dave, you live in a shipping container. This qualifies you to vote in the democratic
primary. According to many reports, those of low income that live in low income
housing and drive small cars that save on fuel, are democrats.
Do you have any windows yet?
