It costs anywhere from $350-$700 (that cannot be written off anymore) per month to take public transport from an outlying area to get to NYC. What are you left with? Middle class on a good day.
Wealthy is a lot more than 250K per year. If you live in Oklahoma, it is probably wealthy.
I live in Manhattan and $250K a year is far from wealthy. The dolts don't get this.
