I'm sick to death of hearing about salary in connection to the middle class. How much money you have put away in the bank is of far greater consequence than how much you made last year.
I have two friends, one is a Public Defender and one is a Software Engineer. The Public Defender comes from money and has no problem going to nice restaurants, she drives a nice car, etc; her father pays for her to go home for visits (she's a sweet girl, but she's rich). The Software Engineer is paying off his loans from an Ivy League school and has to pay for all of his flights back home.
Edit:
What I was trying to say is that salary is a poor indicator of wealth.
- danielweber 12y agoDon't try to enter a profession dominated by trustafarians. (I have not heard of PD as such a profession, BTW, and you may not have been saying it was.) Life is hard enough without fighting uphill on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
- psychometry 12y agoI'm not sure what your point is. Higher salaries would allow people to save more money regardless of what percent they divert so savings.
