4. THIS is why someone making 80K is not middle class.

One person with a salary of 80K is stinking rich, IMO.

The MEDIAN in this country for an entire HOUSEHOLD is half that.

I see this every day--two parents working, not able to afford the rents in my area. So off they go to the ghetto, or off to a less populous state.

Maybe that's a solution...let's all move to America's breadbasket where the cost of living isn't that high...but then...how is the job market there?
