I've come to suspect that for a long time I have been selling myself short.

maybe I'll do a poll.

Middle income especially after taxes. Living as I do now that's twice what I make. (made ) I could save a lot or have much money left over but if I bought a big house with a huge mortgage or as Classic said, moved to a spendy place to live then I could still be hocked up to my nose in debt.

No I don't think it's a lot of money. If you are married and had a combined income of the same then yes it's extra money with buying power.
