>I am probably upper middle class (whatever that means) It means upper class

  I think things have spread out enough where we have a true upper middle and upper class now. 750k+ is probably a solid upper class person, and 250K+ is probably solidly "upper-middle".

    Maybe you feel middle class among the people that you're friends with, but the facts are that in the US, $85k puts you in the top third and $120k in the top fifth, so $250k which is top 4.3% is far from middle for most definitions of it. https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator-2016/ https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator-201...

      I think this data is being very generous. The Tax Policy Center pins the 1% threshold at 750k+
