I haven't exactly been taking part in the main discussion of this topic. I just commented that I strongly disagree with your assertion that making less than $60k is pathetic and impossible to be happy with. The fact is over half of American families don't make your happiness threshold and I find it quite a stretch to conclude a large majority of Americans are depressed. Money and happiness are linked but it's far from the only factor.

My parents were non-english speaking immigrants. My dad died when I was 19 and I promptly worked 40 hours a week on top of taking 6 classes a semester and 4 during the summers to give my mom 500 dollars a month to pay bills. I graduated with a 2.67 GPA. I went to a tier 3 school. I also graduated with 59k in student loans. My first job out of college was for a salary of (drumroll, please) 28.8k, that's 738 dollars every 2 weeks.
Congrats for being the wrongest person on the internet today, 3/14/2012.
Aren't you making the same mistake of citing personal anecdotes that you were accusing someone else of doing before?
