You kinda proved my point about how a person's salary does not say anything about that person, yet once someone finds out what that salary is, all kinds of ridiculous generalizations and assumptions are made about that person.
Again -- salary doesn't reliably tell what lifestyle a family can afford. Friends of ours who live close by make a good amount less than we do but they can afford a lot more, thanks to rich parents and a generous trust fund. I won't accomplish anything trying to compare my lifestyle to theirs.
