I disagree that income creates class.

No sh1t.

You need platinum teefus and big ass rims on your escalade for that.

As far as simplification goes, I'm learning the hard way. Stuff does not equal happiness. Cash flow and freedom does.

Listen to the wise one...

Stuff does not equal happiness.

You sir, are unamerican Money can't solve your problems, but when there is a lack of it, it sure can create problems.

i'd feel squeezed if i didn't have savings, parents that help me out, and piles of student loans. altho i could always sell the car, stop racing, pawn off that extra set of skis... (at least i don't have money whiled away in bikes now: my stable is probably worth a combined $750 these days if generous.)

I consider myself middle class. My wife and I both have pretty good jobs, we own a small house and have one child. Right now things are good, but we need a larger house. A larger house in decent condition(which is any house 20 years old or newer) is about $350,00-$400,00 with taxes around $10,000-$13,000 a year. We live comfortable now, but if & when we buy a larger house its a different story.

You pay, 10K+ in property taxes on a $400K house in Texas?
Self note; NEVER move to Texas.

You don't need a descent house, just get a double wide in a trailer park....problem solved You'll have a bigger pad for the kid. Honestly at those kind of prices I probably would just get a trailer
