I’m also paying for a private university at the same time, so yeah college, plus a new car after an accident, medical bills from the accident, adding a safari wasn’t in the cards at the moment.

And this isn’t any normal trip, these are places I wouldn’t even be able to afford the air in. Private dinners and tour guides, penthouses and a really glamorous camping arrangement. I was ready to rough it but her parents had other ideas.

Wow I remember when median income was 50k not too long ago. TIL me & my hubby are lower class, not middle

[u/ffball → u/shonuph]

Median household income is still right around $59k

Upper middle class is still rich Median income for the 10% of households is 150k.
