Yet another article on high income wage-slaves: Scraping by on $150,000 a year - MSN Money
"We're struggling week to week to get by," says Brian, 42. "Any money that comes in gets chewed up right away."
Digesting that fact becomes harder when you consider that the Schuetts earn a comfortable living, with Amy, 39, pulling in $150,000 a year as a hospital psychiatrist. True, their income did take a big hit last summer when Brian got laid off from his job as a sales rep for a pharmaceutical firm (he'd been making a base salary of $82,000 a year, plus commissions as high as $24,000). And they do have four daughters to raise, ages 4 to 9. But still.
