Before they did that, they paid for a VIP trip to Disney World for my three-year-old niece, Sofia. I have the pictures of her with cosplay actors dressed as Cinderella and Snow White at the resort's best restaurants.

And yet... Their salary has never reached $200K for either of them.

If a salary like that is middle-income for someone living anywhere, then I'm the King of England.
You know I am not getting into a arguing match with you about cost of living, the facts speak for themselves, and that is that New York and other cities have a insane cost of living, in which $200,000 and $250,000 for a couple barely breaks upper middle class.

But as I said before, there are more important things to focus on right now.
