5. I answered no. Some would consider us rich.
In Silicon Vally we make about 200K. For Silicon Valley that is middle class, but MANY here at DU deem the $ level as uber-wealthy. Try to get a house w/ 4 bedrooms out here for under 1 mil. (E Palo Alto not included). We are NOT RICH!!!!


It is a geographic paradigm. Where are the most desirable p[laces to live/work... which are the most undesirable??? Figure out cost of living from there,

Do the research into what it costs to live here. Come back and comment again if you wish. If you do your research well you will be shocked.

9. um did you NOT see that I said "It is California?"
I am quite aware of the problems in my home state where half my family still lives in housing costs.

So while *I* consider 200K to be a decent amount of money, it is California so your point was well made. sheesh.
