So where does your income fall in the scheme of things? [View all]

So with all the talk about tax increases and the fiscal cliff I thought it might be fun to take a "poll" of DUs income levels. First let us know what country you live in. Then mention your income bracket (roughly no need to be too specific). Then mention, if relevant your families total household income.

In my case I'm a student with 0 income and I still live at home with my parents so I don't fit anywhere neatly into this but here does.

Canada - Personal income 0 - household income (my parents) about $120k
