50-50k in a place like NY city would be very low income.

Yes--the cost of living in your area matters. Still, it doesn't take away from the reality that 60K isn't really "low income," speaking statistically. However, maybe 60K is their very upper limit and most of their kids are in 20K families.

Re that article--yup, everybody thinks they're middle class. It's the American way. wink It's also why I'm a stickler for pointing out that no, 150K is NOT "middle income" or "average."
