[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1679664, member: 24302"] Upper middle class lifestyle? How much do people in the upper middle class gross annually? $250k? A bit more or less? If you think a million dollars, adjusted for inflation 20+ years from now, will you give you an upper middle class lifestyle for another 20+ years you're kidding yourself. And this is the fallacy that we're all pushed into believing, that material wealth is the yardstick we're judged by. Hey, why didn't all us clever old timers leave in the 90's? I did, and screwed myself out of decent pay and a much better pension. Why did I come back? What I tried didn't work out, FedEx was what I knew, and I realized the value of that traditional pension. I still believed in the company enough to accept what they were saying as truth, that I'd top out in 7 to 8 years. Guys like you want to put everything on us as if the company can say or do anything and if we're too gullible then we deserve to be taken advantage of. For guys like you it's all about the big money exec's make, and we're just here to benefit them. It's bad enough what you do to us, but you crap on our families too in the name of the all mighty Dollar. Upper middle class? 1%er's? You have no class, you're just money grubbers. All the money in the world won't change that. [/QUOTE]
