Agreed.  An income of 220K for a family of 6 with middle class trappings (450K house, a 2010 minivan, middle of the road sports for kids, low income/mostly at home mom, camping vacations, public schools) leaves not much after some money for RRSPs, RESPs and ridiculous house taxes.  There are no servants, cleaning ladies, etc.  I  know we are not hard done by but the 1%, living the high life moniker just does not fit.
