Stories like this are disingenuous at best. Yet, they do show just how out of touch most upper-class people are with normal people. I know quite a few households who earn more than $250k and I see the same attitude expressed in the article. That is, they truly believe they are "middle class". If pressed, they may say "upper middle class". The thing is, within their peer group, paying for a nanny, spending thousands for day camps for the kids, buying multiple $50k+ cars, etc is normal. When I occasionally ask them how people raise families on less than $100k, they are truly mystified. They really cannot understand how people do it. I find it interesting how the rich (and if you're in the top few %, you're "rich" in my book) do not self-perceive themselves as "rich".
