Yeah people don’t believe me when i say middle class is 300k because they want to be middle class
I think 150k (ish) in my city would be solidly middle class. You could buy a house/car/retire on that.
I'm in a super weird spot, because I make good enough money that I have savings to support me after job loss, and I make enough money that I don't really have to worry about my grocery bill (within reason). Heck, there's even a chance that I'll be able to have a decent retirement.
But a house? Not happening. New car? No chance. Even eating out every week isn't viable. And even what I have is only because I have a pretty sweet rent situation.
