[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You again? :roll:

Before we begin, you must remember that this is dcum.

Lower middle class is a family of 3-4 making between $150,000 and 250,000.  The people who are really struggling to get by.

Middle class is a family making in the realm of $300,000 +/- (but usually plus)

Upper middle class is a family making around $400,000-500,000.

Just so we are clear.[/quote]

I think that this is ALL WRONG.

Over $500,000 is middle class (otherwise known as "comfortable").
$200,000-$500,000 is lower middle class (otherwise known as "struggling").
$125,000-$200,000 is poor (otherwise known as "poor").
Less than $125,000 is either "trailer park" or "ghetto", depending on your race.

There are also, theoretically, families who are rich -- but since they live in small houses and drive old cars, nobody knows who they are.

There is also the minority view that household income has nothing to do with how wealthy you are, since how wealthy you are is a function of what you can afford, and nobody can afford a middle-class lifestyle in the DC area, therefore nobody is middle class even with a household income of over $500,000 -- but let's ignore them for now.[/quote]

Ah yes.  You two.  One of you is a double-income Big Law family who lives in McLean and the other is the Investment Banker/Realtor family who lives in Bethesda or Potomac.  Both of you are struggling with your HHI's of just over $800K and wondering how anyone can possibly live on less than $500K.[/quote]
