but "upper middle class" in the US is the 1% ! I think it starts at something like 60k income per family member (so 120k for a couple)

- S201 3y agoYou have a funny notion of "the 1%." Unless you're in a very low cost of living area $60k in the US is barely scraping by, even $120k/yr in high COL areas like the Bay Area is basically a poverty wage. At large, something like 12% of US households are over $200k/yr. The top 1% of income is considerably higher than that so I have no idea where you're getting $60-120k from unless you're comparing against global incomes, but that's not accounting for local cost of living levels making it an apples-to-oranges comparison.
- namdnay 3y agoyes I'm talking about the global 1%. i.e. us, who are polluting far far more than our fair share
