I am so tired of this argument, and the only people here in support of such a statement, I feel, are the young single and childless.

Take a divorce, child support, travel etc into account and I cannot live on anything less than $150K

Rent for a house with several children, for me, is $2300 for a two bedroom with a garage, yard and an extremely lucky addition of a very large play room.

I am REALLY lucky to have this place - as it would go for $3500+ if I move out....

The argument for less and less salary always sounds to me like peasants justifying their fealty, though at the same time - we should not be decrying arbitrary pay brackets - but demanding more fair pricing for all the tings that are required to survive and thrive.

Everything is overpriced.
