I would consider $150k/yr in a MCOL area comfortably middle class - what single-income households used to have much more regularly. You can afford kids, a house, a car, a couple low-cost family vacations each year, and maybe put some money aside for savings. That is now pretty much the median salary for a bunch of high earners.

During the automakers book in Detroit, UAW negotiated a $191.60 weekly salary (for 40 hours work) in 1972. https://www.americamagazine.org/issue/100/victory-auto-workers https://www.americamagazine.org/issue/100/victory-auto-worke... Adjusted for inflation, that is $1407 today, or about $73.1k per year.
