Depending on where you live, if you don’t have 30-70 million in liquid assets, you are middle class (or below).
- apatters 6y agoOh come on, there is no definition of middle class anywhere that includes someone with $29M in liquid assets.

- neolog 6y agoIn what place can you have 15 million and be middle class?
- chordalkeyboard 6y agoManhattan, NY.
