There's no more "I want this but can't afford it" wishing kind of stuff. You just buy what you want. You find things to spend it on. This doesn't stop at the $120k level either. Households making over half a million dollars a year find ways to get to the point where they "need" every dollar of income - there's always a more elite private school, always a bigger mansion/penthouse, always a more expensive country club out there. Our glorious capitalist society, in its infinite capacity for equality, assures that living paycheck-to-paycheck can be a way of life for every level of income. EDIT: not saying that you, fknlo, or anyone else always or necessarily gets to the point of living paycheck-to-paycheck - just that a hell of a lot of people do.
