I am middle class living at best. We have a nice home, nothing extravagant....we have 2 cars.....we have heat and AC....we are comfortable.
But we are not living like the UPPER CLASSS.
Looks to me like you're middle class trying to live like upper class.
Forty-eight thousand a year in mortgage and taxes?
Eight-thousand a year in car payments?
Good God, man, show some restraint and good sense.
