Depends on how you manage money. I have seen people live middle class
at $50k and others broke at $125K.

There is more to being middle class than what you make. It is also
about attitude and self dicipline.

I agree with that. The most "broke" people I know make over $100k but
they spend borrowed money like they make a million.

Yep. My little sister is like that. When life was good with two good
jobs they leveraged up to the 9's. We told them, now is the time to
solidify that wealth and pay off debt, not create more of it.

Now getting close to 50, and a huge mortgage on a dump when the last
recession hit. Set her back 30 years financially. But it is all our
fault. Typical liberal screwup will be working for a long time yet.

Perhaps the ones you know, but that's not really typical.

No. It's her fault. But, feel free to blame the gov't (or liberals or the
Ghost of Christmas Past). The bottom line is that she screwed up. It
happens.

See if you can get this:

liberal - loose and free, few rules, can be anyone.

Liberal - calls themselves a liberal/left. Usually dimwit democrat or
LPC (Canada).

conservative - a philosophy of less risk and conservation. Can be anyone.

Conservative - calls themselves conservative/right, usually Republican
or Conservative.

Note the leading letter.

You can be a liberal Republican. And you can be a conservative
Democrat. But the norm is usually the reverse but not always.

Small "C" conservatives are like the pigs that built their homes with
bricks. Solid. Conserved resources conseravtively for years, they
suffer little in bad times.

Small "L" liberals, spend liberally in good times and get wiped out in
bad times because they were not conservatively planning, prefering to be
more liberal in spending.

Get with it. This is the english language.

She blames me because I didn't screw up like she did! Stupid POS. And
she blames C/conservatives as they should bail her out.

It happens a lot.

Raising kids liberally for example, they learn little of conservative
dicipline. Then when 25 or so, one loser job after anotehr they fail to
cope and do suicide.

This depression goes far beyond just the mechanics of government tax,
banking and corruption bailouts, the liberalism has become a disease
that is hurting people big time.

As when uncle Obama runs out of cash or hasn't gotten around to you, you
will be one disappointed liberal loser. A conservative self starter has
a huge advantage over a entitlist liberal at the moment, but the liberal
wants to steal it.
