Yellow is fake gold; it's veneer and show rather than substance. We see that with the yellow cocktail music at Gatsby's party (1) and the two girls in twin yellow dresses who aren't as alluring as the golden Jordan (3.15).
I think a moderate income is income above the median for famlies in your county, but not more than 25% of the median income. The IRS usually has this info for free, but I see they are now charging $10 for this on their web site for more recent years. http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/indtaxst...=96947,00.html.
You might be surprised to learn that the top 20 percent of income earners bring in a household income of just over $100,000. The top 10 percent of earners have a household income of more than $148,687.To be considered in the top 1 percent, household income is at least $521,411.My friend Alexander Green of The Oxford Club brings these figures to his readersâ attention in â How to Know if Youâre Rich .â Iâve known Alex for years.arning enough income to be in the top 1, 10 or 20 percent is no small accomplishment, but chances are good that many people you know, and may not think of as rich, fall into the top 1, 10 or 20 percent.
