Interesting stat. We’re at the mid 150k-<200k range. So that makes us at the top 7%? That's hard to imagine because if we go to the mall, we feel that everybody is making way more than us. I often ask my wife where are this people getting their money to buy expensive bags and clothes.[/quote]People buy expensive shit they don't need, using credit, every day.
See the thread on viral strategic defaults, etc.
Looking around my coworkers - I am shocked how many are underfunding retirement and carry credit card balances with pretty decent engineering salaries. It's because they're at the mall spending money... those are the folks you're seeing.

You are looking at a skewed sample. When you go to the mall you are surrounded by people with money to spend there. Sure there are window shoppers too but people without money to spend arent at the mall shopping.May 18, 2010 at 5:07 PM #551629sdrealtor

ParticipantThere was a thread a couple years back where Raptorduck defined what “wealthy” meant in his world.
Boy was that interesting. I looked for a long time though last night and couldn’t find it.
As I recall he discriminated “upper middle class”, from the “working rich” and at the top of the heap was just plain old “rich”. π
His numbers, as I recall, were *way* beyond what we’ve been talking in this thread. It’s all relative I guess.
