$2,900 mortgage, $930 HELOC (used to renovate), ~$350 misc household stuff, ~$2,000/month for food, going out etc.
Also, wife works--she makes $140K but she has 160k in student loans. No kids, separate bank accounts, we split the mortgage/heloc and other expenses (grocery, cable, etc) down the middle but whatever is left over is mine.

exactly. You bank that amount and FEEL poor? Do you even understand what poor is? Have you ever? And if you ever did, did you forget?
I can remind you in case you did forget:
Poor is taking your kids to the welfare clinic.
Poor is working 40 hours and no chance at OT and still qualifying for food stamps/EBT.
Poor is having to send your kids to public school in NYC in a shitty neighborhood where, no matter how much you try, your kids are surrounded by fucking misery.
Poor is when you get dressed up to take a plane because it's a big event to you and it's not even a vacation, but to go visit family you haven't seen in years.
Poor is making a choice between new clothes for your wife or having lunch (a fucking man gets his wife new shit, btw).
Poor is living around miserable people who basically make your life a total stressor because you don't know if you, your kids or your wife will not be hurt going to and from normal everyday shit.
Poor is not knowing what "being sick" is because you HAVE to drag your half dead ass to work.
Now: as to a workable solution to your feelings. Move across the river. Problem solved. You take exactly what you make you will have all of the trappings of middle class/upper middle class life you want. If you want to pay for the privilege of a NYC zip code. I don't feel bad for you.

That's the magic of New York, friend. You are surrounded by people who are wealthier, more hard working, have more income potential than you, have more drive, and live better than you.
If you want to feel rich, go to Chicago or something. In the meantime, while you're here, accept the fact that in NYC, even if you're rich, you are poor. And let your peers inspire and push you and your family to do great things.

Dude, if your household income is over 300k and you feel poor, i don't know what to tell you man. and, i don't care that you live in nyc.
It's such entitled view prevalent among many people in our country nowadays that may be fucking over our country. seriously, more Americans need to learn to be more frugal, more appreciative, and spend less.
