Without age the numbers are meaningless


Not really. In fact, the NW isn't the biggest determinant of class when it comes to this sort of classification.


If you and your partner are 65 and at the brink of retirement, having a net worth of 2 million puts you in a very different category than a 30-something couple with the same.

Too high or too low to be UMC?


NP. Too low, IMO.


Do you live... in reality.


NP. I consider anything 200-500k to be UMC. We're in the 200s and live a very lucky lifestyle. No way would I say we're just middle class. We take overseas vacations, pay off our cars in full and have zero money worries.

We are extremely comfortable.

Sidenote: I'm curious if people generally calculate NW the same way.


I said $3.5M last night. I counted home equity (we don't have a mortgage), retirement account balances, and brokerage account balance.

You didn’t include checking or savings accounts aside from retirement?

NW: Probably around $400k? I don't track this carefully. Retirement accounts plus home equity (which is small, we just bought). No debts besides mortgage.

PP just adding we are mid thirties. And also - the majority of people responding on this thread are upper class/rich and don't live in reality.
