[quote=Anonymous]You people are insane. Per this article, to be in the top 5% of earners in the DC area, you need to make over $250k a year: https://statisticalatlas.com/state/District-of-Columbia/Household-Income If you are in the TOP 5% OF EARNERS you are by definition NOT IN THE MIDDLE. DUH. You are also not in the upper middle. YOU ARE AT THE TOP. YOU ARE RICH. Yes, we do, as a society, tend to take a wide view of middle, but anyone claiming to be middle class, or upper middle class, who is making more than $250k a year, is incredibly out of step with reality. The exact cutoff we can discuss. The top 20% cutoff is $163k. I can see an argument for that being "upper middle class." This doesn't breakdown the top 10%, but I'm guessing it's around $200k. That's a reasonable cutoff. Clearly people can disagree here, and there's nuance. But if you're above $250k and you are claiming upper middle class, I judge you HARD. Own it. You're rich. [/quote]
