- throwaway0a5e 5y agoMiddle class by the classical "very rich people who are still technically commoners" definition yes. Middle class by the colloquial "everyone who makes more than a kid flipping burgers but not enough to buy an apartment in Manhattan" definition no.
- mywittyname 5y agoThey might be able to afford to have a company cut their grass, have maids come by once a month to clean, and have food delivered on occasion, but they can't afford to pay a person full time to do all of those things. Even paying minimum wage, that would be something like $20,000 after taxes. Given that the median household income is something like $60k gross; no, they can't afford domestic staff.
