It's below average for a metropolitan area of several million people. But yes that would be quite expensive for me. My parents own a house here and work middle class jobs. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a principal now but worked most of his career as a teacher. My inlaws drive subways for a living and own 3 houses (2 here and one in Florida.) Keep in mind that most people take decades to pay off their houses.

I agree, but to say 300k for a 3 bedroom living space, or a condo (even in a metropolitan area) isn't expensive is ridiculous.

The logic here is pretty simple.

$300k for a house is ridiculous?  :lol:

One day you'll grow up and live in the real world.  That is not at all expensive.

My parents paid $200k for their house 20 years ago in the suburbs of a small city.  They didn't even have paved roads at the time.  That $200k is at least $300k by today's standards.  If you're in a real city the price is far higher.

Yes, it is expensive to live in a major metropolitan area. That doesn't mean that people who own houses in such areas are particularly rich though. What qualifies as rich is up for debate, but IMO "middle class" is a more accurate description of people who make more money than the poor but a lot less than the very rich, and compose a sizable portion of a country's population.

Exactly...

Oh and pwnasaurus, we must not live in the same world.

I pay $950 a month for a house I feel is too big for me. Man you should see all the land I have, although it's sorta surrounded by city life, it is still relatively quiet and peaceful. Stop making all these fucking assumptions, I know what struggle is. You live in a world that offers far better opportunity, but you refuse to see it.

Let's say that $950 a month was your payment on a 25 year mortgage. That's $285K in payments over that period. Obviously a good sized chunk of that will go to interest, but a person who can afford a $300K house over 25 years is really not all that much richer than you are.

He never said that, at least not that I can tell. All he said was it's expensive, then demonstrated that he could easily afford it.

A lot of it is relative. To me even $500 a month is out of reach expensive, but that's because of where I am right now. To many of my peers that's cheap.

maybe i am mistaken. it's waht it looked like he said, to me. he seems to me, to be making not a comparison, but a point about how expensive items are needless. :shrug: i was hoping he'd reiterate, because well damn, this thread...

My god this is stupid. There's no resolving an argument when the first premise is flawed. Making the claim that a 300k house is expensive -to someone living around the poverty line- is no big jump of reasoning. But saying that "what most consider middle class should be considered rich" is ignorant.

The whole point here is that No, to a real wealthy person, 300k isn't shit. And one of the main reasons the whole wealth disparity issue is so misunderstood is because of fools like you muddying it up like this. People mortgage their 300k house to buy a range rover and then think they're rich, so they vote for the interests of billionaires. There is wealth out there that you can't even comprehend, you're too busy getting mad at your neighbor for buying a 2br house. A yacht you can land a helicopter on is unnecessary.

ok, i have nothing against rich people or whatever you're complaining about. go away. people can do what they want.

like i said, he isn't making a comparison... he is just trying to make a point. if you're so smart help the man out in his position. don't pander your rhetoric to me, when i'm not even really fighting the issue, here.

fucking christ.

PS: there is alot of wealth out there and it's accumulated and it's central to the well being of live on this planet, because we made it that way.

doesn't make it right, or better or "natural" or anything, either... so why are getting so upset over someones opinion on the matter, if it doesn't effect you and your amassing of wealth?

I'm not upset about his opinion, or point or whatever it was. I read something blatantly silly and felt it would be irresponsible to not respond and set it straight.

Much of the last thousand years of human history has been centered around the fight against the accumulation of wealth and power in the hands of the few, and for progress towards prosperity for the many.


What they really need is a yacht that can fly!

The spruce goose is a wooden plane that could take off and land from water.


Flying yachts are just a step away....



also thank you for realizing I was being facetious.  people seem to be taking everything I say in this thread literally :rolleyes:
