No. It depends on where you live. My wife and I make about $100K between us, but in Chicago, while we are comfortably middle class, we are not "fucking loaded." Of coyrse, since I make $100K, I am disqualified from commenting, but I don't think I am poormouthing. In Columbus, Ohio, where I moved frpom, $100K would make us "fucking loaded." But here in Chi, where everything costs three or four times as much--my property taxes are higher than my mortgage plus propert taxes were there, it doesn't. --jks
