No. I don't currently work for any airline; I'm an AD Major in the USAF. A quick check of the military pay scale will show you that without the bonus, I make about 90k a year. With the bonus you can get up to 115k per year but I'm not currently under a bonus. I live in Phoenix and housing here is certainly not cheap. Houses in my neighborhood go for around $200 sq/ft. (I'm sure some of you live in more ludicrously priced areas, I only mention this to show that I don't live in a trailer park in the cheapest part of the country).

Uhhh...actually that's exactly what Skyhigh said:
" In an urban setting it takes at least 150K to fully fund a middle class lifestyle for a family of four." --Skyhigh

And I wasn't aware that my sub 200k existence "blew".
You guys need to re-orient: Family of 6, one in college, never made more than $115,000 in a year and I currently more than get by fine on $6500 a month. I have no idea why you think anything less than $16,000 a month ($200k a year) blows. I admire your high standards, but realistically, you don't have a lot of people to complain to, since that would put you in the top part of the 99th percentile of incomes in the US.
