Nice to know I'm not the only one who got "registration shock."

I agree that $250,000 in NorCal or SoCal is not "rich." That was one of the plans that REALLY pisses me off. You can't just pick an arbitrary number and say you're "rich" if you're over that number and don't take into consideration for cost of living. $250,000 is middle class in NYC.
There was an MSN article on a couple who made $400,000 in NYC and lived in a 900 sq-ft one bedroom and lived paycheck to paycheck. Some of it was due to living in the Upper East side, but they barely went out to eat- once a quarter I think.
