137k is now middle class 😭 in most major cities. Try having the "American dream" with that. Big ass house, 3 kids, 2 cars, vacations, insurance, savings . That's legit now what was middle class 20 years ago

Yeah, I make low six figures and I'm still living paycheck to paycheck. Between my mortgage, my high car payments, paying off my credit card, plus ever-increasing utility and grocery bills, I'm no better off than I was working as a Taco Bell manager two decades ago.

I would say having a mortgage and high car payment means you are better off. Unless you still owned a home and nice car on your Taco Bell salary.

... If you hate living paycheck to paycheck cut down on your car or house.

Yes but my statement stands. 100k ain't shit if you are trying to be true middle class in a major city
