[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter called out my wife on her talk about the “rich” people and her saying is “middle” class people.

I have an average job and my wife does not work. But I had a good job at one point and bought a big house  with a big downpayment we still live in.

My daughters threw out, you literally live in house now worth 1.8 million. My friends think I am rich from my address. My wife is we are middle class. She then throws out well how do you afford house. My wife responds well we have a small mortgage as put down a lot back in 2017 when Dad has a higher salary.

A few weeks later my daughter fresh out of college I helped with her 401k sign up. I was encouraging her to do more. It will be worth a lot one day. She asks how much I have in my 401k I say well I have two million and mom has one million. She goes I thought you were middle class. I then explain that’s for retirement.

She then asks any other secret month. Well I say I still have $350,000 of pre IPO vested RSUs from prior company but that I also can’t sell and maybe 100k in younger sisters 529 but that I can’t sell either and Mom has a 100k cash balance pension. Year that’s it.

But I am still middle class based on income.
