    whatever a person thinks it is haha

    however, if we rely on something about more concrete than feelz like stats, it would be the middle of the population

        between $100k to $150k a year wealthy.

        It’s barely middle class for most places now.

        This was the original statement…

        50-100k covers about 38% to 63%

        this is the middle.

        100-150k: 63%-79%

        See Distribution of household income in 2022 according to US Census data

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States

        Expanding lower bound to 50k does indeed appear to cover the “middle class” but income above 100k is hardly “barely middle class” from statistical point of view.

          The definition of middle class in the US is $50k - $150k based on the last census.

          Hence why I said and continue to repeat that $100k - $150k is not wealthy but barely middle class.

          I’m not sure what or why you are arguing here.
