Between me & my husband, about $99,000 a year... which isn't all that much for San Jose...
Mortgage payment for 3-br house $2295.00 a month
Property Taxes: Almost $12,000 a year for two houses
We do ok though.

Looking at just my income, you could say that I am on the poor side. But, since I share expensives with my husband, I have enough to do with what I want. I'm not hurting by any means. Over all, I would say that we are comfortable.

I work, but pay rent, my own tuition and bills. I still manage to scramble a few bucks for luxuries, but nothing too expensive. One of the greatest gifts my mom did was nearly purchase a car for me (I did make payments on it for about year when she decided to pay it off for me). I treat this car like gold as it's really all I've got for the mean time and probably the only collateral I have. I also have savings of about $1600 and a 401k with Vanguard.

I personally own 26 diamond necklaces, a tobacco plantation that covers parts of three counties in Virginia, a golden winged chariot, the rights to all of the royalties of the "Where's the Beef?" commercial, a mink farm in the Catskills, various chunks of medical real estate in Miami, stock in Chase Manhattan Bank and Prudential, the rights to the formula for a cholestorol-reducing medication, an entire herd of Indian elephants, a posse of enslaved midgets who perform services to myself and various movie stars and supermodels, and a partridge and a pear tree.
In other words, I'm loaded ;).
Actually, we're sort of upper middle-class for the area we live in...like upper part of middle-class. My dad makes about 165,000 a year and my mom makes 45,000, but that's much less after taxes and they're split up, so it's actually much less than it seems.

Foo Bar has a good philosophy.
I have no problems with people trying to earn and amass wealth, but the sacrifices and cutthroat manner in which they do it is something that I do not wish to share. I just want to have enough to retire and dote on my grandbabies and maybe buy a jet.
