This writer complains about how hard it is to live on his $120K base salary as a reporter for the NYT. Before you fire up the torch and call the posse, though, remember the whole idea of "status-income disequilibrium" has a wee bit of merit... although bitching about how you can't afford to shop at Whole Foods? Maybe not going to garner so much sympathy. I say, if you live anywhere near a Whole Foods, you're probably not poor.
