Robert, I like nice things also and have a large house in a nice neighborhood, cars (yes, even including a Mercedes), and we like to eat out and not at Mickey D's. BUT we are totally debt free and that has become code for "rich." By other measures, we would be only "middle class." Economic times are changing. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.
