That is true; I know some very bright kids who have upper middle class parents ( 800K and above income).[/quote]

What part of the word "middle" is challenging for you?

There are more people over 85 in this country than there are people making over 400K.  Are 95 year olds now middle aged?

Middle class, verging up upper middle class, mom with a household income right around 100K.[/quote]

Above poster: Ho hum.... yes, WE all know that statistically middle class is defined as a single person with HHI opf 75 K or higher or family of four w/ HHI 120K or higher. I SAID : [b]UPPER MIDDLE CLASS[/b] you are on a forum called DC Urban Moms. We are not " in the rest of the country".  Upper middle class in this town is a lot more than 400k a year HHI. If you want to get picky: SES is determined by far more than HHI. It is also education, profession, etc.. Upper class on the other hand is determined by inherited multi-gernerational industrial tycoon kind of wealth,( the Gates children,the Pews, the Fords, royalty, etc...) A law firm partner who grew up poor and whose parents were farmers, may make 2 million a year, but he will never be "upper class". He will always be Upper Middle class. There are A LOT of them in this town.[/quote]
