400k a year is not "poor working class" by any definition of the word. The median salary in America is 45,000. "Poor working class" is significantly below that.

400k a year is not "poor working class" by any definition of the word. The median salary in America is 45,000. "Poor working class" is significantly below that. 400k is upper middle class, and if you've not managed to save up for a rainy day on those kinds of wages, it really is your own fault. Actually poor people manage it.
People from the Bay Area really need to get out more. Source: I come from the actual poor working class.
- mcny 7y agoI meant to say those making 400k are the middle class. I don't make anywhere near that much.
