I’d like to know more about the people who live in Manhattan for $75k (gross) and live comfortable “middle class” lives.

I wouldn’t put a cut off line. It’s not the government’s job to slice and dice the population by some arbitrary income level determination. What ever happened to equality under the law?

ps- I thought Obama said $250,000 was the cut off? Now it’s down to $75,000. My, my….who didn’t see that comeing I wonder…

MasterPo: I know folks living in Manhattan for under $75k who consider themselves middle class. I’m OK with a COLA on the plan. Where would you put the cut-off?

Why do you fall for the “middle class” concept of under $75k? Try living in NYC or Long Island on $75k (gross of course) and let me know if you still feel middle class.

I expected better of you.

Fred: High school helps but so many consumers face issues in adulthood that high school PF education cannot prepare them for.

I would love to sue the NYT but it is probably judgment-proof anyway.

I am intrigued by your idea, but I don’t really want government spending tax payers dollars to financial advisers. Instead, let’s have states put personal finance into the high school curriculum.
