Your notion that median income means a middle class lifestyle such as enjoyed by our parents is hilariously out of date.  In SC, a household of two people making $42k a year (God forbid with kids) are not middle class.

I make well over the median wage, and I ain't middle class such as is, or was, routinely understood.  However, if you insist that things such as owning a modest home or a car less than ten years old are badges of an upper-class income, I'll concede the point as I don't wish to engage in a purely semantic argument. :P

Fair enough.  However none of this refutes my main point.

I made a chair out of blu rays.

Actually, totaling it all up, I think it's certainly less than $4k over the past year, including owned movies, theater tickets, Netflix account, and the occasional recourse to paid individual rental.  It's also decelerating in total dollars as I run out of shit that I MUST OWN NOW,* although individual purchases tend to be more as inhibitions toward things like Criterion discs fall (surely a sign of elite status).

*Being unemployed off-and-on for months has also not helped.

I only buy Disney Dvd's.

We knew that, it's a given, you're unable to find a room in any of your houses without the presence of at least 1 sub-seven year old, therefore disney ever more.   :P

Similarly.


By the way I wasn't being rude, just trying to channel the fathering numerous children meme, but in a can't be arsed, largely unfunny way.

Median household income hasn't been as low as $42,000 in the US since the early 1970s.

I don't think you ever understood middle class if you think that a single male making "well over" $43,000 and change a year isn't middle class.  You really need to climb down from that ivory tower.
