[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle class= 57K-91K a year.

None of you are middle class.[/quote]

What two income family of "professionals" (to me, meaning having a college degree and working in a job that is not working class/blue collar) in the DC area make this?

There is a flaw in the question. In this pricey area where professionals are paid more and many families have two earners, 91K is going to exclude a lot of people. OP should have put the HHI in the subject, but as we are seeing, HHI is useless if you have 700-1 million in assets which a few posters do.

When DH and I got married a few years ago we were making $93k combined. Both of us have college degrees - he has a master’s too. Not everyone making lawyer or consultant salaries.[/quote]

Right, but according to the poster I responded to that you make you not eligible for this thread. Plus, most people when they are young don't have a ton of retirement and before kids don't have 529s which people are posting about. What is your situation now? Still at 93K? I'm betting above.

We are hardly consultants or lawyers but two fed worker "professionals" can easily hit well over 91K, especially by the time they have a couple of kids (OP specified family of four as an example so safe to assume, given this is a parenting web site, the target audience is families).

Anyway, the question was flawed. OP should have been more specific and not used the term middle class which is loaded. [/quote]
