Per wikipedia,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States

The HOUSEHOLD income OCU just railed against and that gets clo "soo angry!" is...

$87,500 to $89,999.

And that's generally the income of TWO working adults, not one.

How angry are you about such people now, clo? How does this compare with your SOLE income? (You are still working, right?)

re: "They're generally the 20% who went to college and got their degrees."

I just re-read that post and have to admit that I'm wrong.

The top 20 percent are generally the 20 percent who have two, hard-working wage earners. I would hope that married college graduates fresh out of school would be in the top ten percent.

And I bet that you, OCU, are in the top five percent even without your wife's income.
