This is exactly the type of people MMM was written for, by the way. We know a LOT of people like this.
This may be true - however, I'm not sure that's who you have reading it! Maybe a few of us, but not a ton (we're totally one of "those" families, it's true).
True, although I think the people reading who fit into that category are a bit quieter. :)
And you are definitely NOT one of "those" families, by the way.
My point was, when there is a ridiculous amount of excess, there is a LOT of room for improvement and wealth accumulation. When there's less money to go around, you have to work a lot harder for it, but it's still possible.
Having worked in high tech, many of the couples we know make $100K+ per household yet still don't feel like they can sacrifice one income to stay home with their child(ren). Obviously there are special cases, but for the majority of these families, it IS possible if they are willing to change their lifestyles just a little bit.
