3 money tips for every income
I like this article, it gives general guidelines for every income level.
Incomes from Low Income (Below $20k) to Upper Income (Above $100k).
Word to the wise, if you find yourself in the lower end of this spectrum...make a promise to yourself not to stay there for long...

The real cost of living: $150 000 a year...Really?
I thought you would be interested in this: http://money.msn.com/family-money/article.aspx?post=c20e622f-9f80-4b2d-90fd-164ead94b9b1#scptid
According to this article, in a survey, people who claimed to make $150k a year are among those of us who where quoted in "saying they could buy what they need, afford some extras, and still be able to save a bit". I live in Southern California (higher cost of living) and tend to agree with that (believe me, I've worked the numbers). However, since the article claims to be an average or a national representation...I wonder what people these days define as "what they need vs. what they want"?
$150k a year use to be considered upper middle class, have we re-defined "needs vs, wants" or is has the American Dream really grown out of our reach?
Something to think about...
