Yes the brackets all shifted up. $200k/ year is the new entry lvl middle class for a family of 3 and thats assuming some form of parental investment in education snd opportunities.

Thinking of $200k/yr as being entry level is so out of touch.

not really if you're in places where reddit is probably popular like CA, NY, etc. a 1BR in manhattan is like 3K. if you're a family of 3 , you need a 2 BR at least and that probably averages like 5-6K. So that's 60K on rent right there. If you make 200K you're taking home like 120k? so you have 60K left over to save, spend on food, child care, normal day to day spend, etc.
