[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you are rich.  UMC is Middle class - $80-120K in this area.  This is silly to pretend you are middle class on $200K or more income and that much in savings.  Middle class generally don't have that kind of savings and live pay check to pay check.  If you live in a million dollar house you are not UMC.  If you earn what is posted here, you are not UMC.[/quote]

PP: that was my point in my earlier post. Our income is high, but culturally we feel UMC. We have to work to support ourselves. I work until midnight many nights and DH and I both work for a portion of most weekends. Obviously many people with lower incomes also work this hard, and as I noted I'm aware of where our income falls in a distribution, but our lifestyle is basically the same as a family making $200k/year.[/quote]

Yeah I find the difference between  upper middle class and upper class to be mostly about the dependence on a high-paying job. There is a big difference between somebody who needs their big law job and somebody who can live on the interest of their investments. Maybe there should be something between middle class and upper middle class to describe us. [/quote]
