working class and proud

Yes, my mom didn't work and my dad was VP of a reinsurance company and made about $340k a year. Unfortunately, his company insured the insurance company that covered the trade centers, and they laid off 62% of the company, including him, after that happened. He was able to retire at 48 thereafter.

no

my mom made about $65k

not horrible considering where i grew up (i was among one of the "richest" kids in the school) but far from wealthy

100k is pretty far out in the distrubution of household income in the US. People are just privileged and don't want to admit it.

I grew up around people making this much and much more always complaining about how their family is "poor". Meanwhile coming from a single parent household where that single parent is too disabled to work, it couldn't be more obvious to me that people use these terms relative to their aspirations.

$150k fully loaded.

My father in law has a fully loaded 2016 ZO6 and the MSRP is only (lolz) $110k. I get your point but I just had to correct your numbers. Though the next generation of Vettes may top out at close to $150K so you may end up being right, haha.

the numbers were admittedly pulled from my bad memory but the main point I was trying to make is that a brand new Corvette is the most expensive purchase someone with 100k/yr will make outside of their mortgage. If they do buy one, it'll be because they basically saved all of their money just for it.

However, a corvette is a pretty good investment as those cars are fucking durable as fuck.

My father bought a used C5 2000 model from a guy who bought a C6 to replace it still runs better than any other car I've been in. It'll be almost 20 years old soon and it will have outlasted 3 of my cheaper piece of shit cars.

My wife and I are at $130k and financially stable. Still not "wealthy."

Careful, your gonna trigger zeeak

You're such a child. It's a metric in a topic where no one specified where they actually live. If 100k isn't enough where you live then take the advice from your party and go somewhere else.

$100k is enough. Does it mean wealthy? No. But your right, TC didn't include the place of residence as a factor in the topic. We merely did that for him because as I've previously stated $100K isn't gonna get you the same things in every location
