Overheard a couple discussing their finances last night while out to eat. One if them had finally earned six figures, and were all excited. A milestone to be sure, but on either coast, six figures dosen't go all that far these days.

Raises several questions.

1) What is a "good" salary these days?

2) What, if anything, should be done about the increasing wealth gap?

3) Given the rising cost of living, do you expect wages to finally start rising for thoes who remained employed during this mast recent economic downturn?
