True. However, most Americans live far beyond their means. We do earn very good money, but we have always lived below our means.
Just a point:
Some of the staff who work for me were talking about buying expensive Air Jordan sneakers (well over $150). I buy my sneakers at Costco ($20 or so). I told them I wear Air Kirklands.
All kidding aside, I know they make 1/3 of what I make. But they are also buying Canadian Goose coats, leasing BMWs, etc.
My employees all think I'm so poor, I always bring my lunch to work, they always eat out, like you I buy my shoes and clothes at Costco, they buy all designer clothes and lease cars with $500 and $600 payments. I max out my 401K, I max out our Roth IRA's, I Max out my HSA and I put money in my FSA ( I have really bad gum disease, so I deep cleanings 4 times a year, so this allows me to use pre tax money)...
