I was going by what sort of lifestyle you can live with that income range. You can rent a nice apartment in a nice part of town and support a family on your salary. You could also go out to the suburbs and live in a largish house. You get one or two trips abroad with your kids each year.
We are not talking about country clubs, yachts, or first class airfare here. It is not the 1%. It is between working class and upper class. What else would you call it?
- llamataboot 9y agoStatistically, quite rich.
- betterunix2 9y agoI disagree. The 1% is "quite rich." The 200k-400k income band is not the 1%. Like I said, the things wealthy people can afford are still out of reach. There is a group of people who are not living paycheck to paycheck but who still need to work full time. That group is called the middle class.
- americanjetset 9y ago>So your definition of "solidly upper class" is the top 10% of earners? That's a pretty loose definition IMO. You stated that above. I'd say your definition here is quite a bit more "loose."
