[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to clarify something: 900k is upper middle class??? If so, what is considered middle class in the dc metro area?[/quote] That's what I was wondering. ... But it seems pretty clear that an income of $300K, or a house of $1M in a good school district, is upper class, not upper middle.[/quote] This can be (and has been) debated for dozens of pages without reaching any real answer. Real academics who actually study this stuff cannot even come close to agreeing. So it seems unlikely that any of us can make many unequivocal pronouncements of fact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affluence_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_middle_class_in_the_United_States [/quote] Translation: I want to make a self-serving assumption that my $300K income is middle class, and nobody can stop me.[/quote]
