According to this middle class would be 50% higher and lower than the median income.  In the US that means: $25-76K.  So those of you making $350K or 800K etc should accept that you are rich.  I appreciate that you may not feel like what you think rich feels like because you don't have as big of a house or have luxury cars or something but seriously...you are [b]wealthy[/b].

Here's why you may not think you're wealthy--from the article: "As you work your way up the income ladder, inequality grows," he says. "If people make $104,096 per year, which puts them in the richest 20 percent of the population, they feel ‘relatively’ poor because they compare themselves to people in the top 1 percent of the income distribution – people making over $500,000, but primarily millionaires."[/quote]

Wealth and riches are assets. A high income doesn't mean you have or are building wealth. [/quote]
