    What is considered to be a "high income" in America?

    If I make, say $5000 / month, is that a high or a low income?

      You'll know if you're "High Income" by the around of taxes you're forced to pay.

      The richer you become the less you pay

        I would call that middle class.
        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          Really depends on where you live. You make 5k/month and live in rural south you would be considered well off. You live in southern California and make 5k/month you're middle class.

                    It depends where you live. New York, San Fran or Hong Kong? You're poor, almost homeless. Missouri, Oklahoma, New Brunswick... you can live like a king.

                        bunch of you have very little clue...but thats normal.

                        Gross or net? Rent or own? Car payments? Child support? I know people make $250k a year who don't have dime to their name because of debt.

                                You are considered to have a high income in America if you have any type of "yard" in California that is larger than 4 square foot.

                                            Who said anything about grass? You have to cut that shit...I've got brick....A nice big patio. No fuss, no muss. All I have to do is spray it down every couple of days.

                                                      and that would be around 4k... dont forget that you get 2-3% every year, meaning the raise is bigger every year

                                                          5k a month x 12 months = 60k a year. you'll see by the census chart that that's above average for every single state in the US (2002 anyways) and in some states that's double. You'd be doing nice in my neck of the woods, just as long as you aren't up to your eyeballs in debt.
