I'll drop the argumentative mode here.

I completely agree with piercehawkeye, at least I think I do, that the problem with the poor, or lower middle class, is sociological. As I said, my wife and I lived very comfortably on $15,000 a year, and that included saving for retirement! We drove a car, lived in an apartment, etc.

I think that many get caught up in this materialistic world. When they are young and poor they spend right up to the limits of their paycheck, and 'somehow' the situation just continues until they die.

How much money you make is your choice, as well as how well you want to live on that money.

I think it's one of life's cruel jokes that if you are seeking prosperity you will never find it. Only once I stopped caring about money did I understand how to save it and make it.
