    WTF. My household earns almost 100k/yr. Me, my spouse, and child live comfortably without financial issues. 150k sounds pretty good to me.

      Have you considered buying two extra BMWs and doubling the size of your house? Gotta live paycheck to paycheck and make those neighbors jealous!

        Luxury SUVs on lease are obviously a wise financial move.

        Got to make sure to have 3 kids to make sure your finances are in order.

      Looking into the article more closely, it has doubled…to 0.34%.

      So that’s about 437,000 households, which isn’t nothing. If you put them all in one US city, it’d be bigger than Jacksonville, which would put it into the top 10 by population.

      Still, it makes it easy to not be affected; just don’t live in Jacksonville.
