Not until you have enough that you're not clawing just to stay afloat. Until that point, stress and paranoia about job security are a pretty big deal.

I've been broke before. Not to toot my own horn, but I know what it's like.

There's a long way between "barely not broke" and "upper middle class". I am not particularly interested in struggling my whole life on the way up to wealth, but I am also not interested in living broke and trying to keep myself and my family fed.
