I make less and im upper where im at:francis:might wanna consider relocating... aint no sense in living where 200k+ is middle.

I ain’t leaving until I’m 5 years away from retiring and besides I’m fortunate enough to own 2 homes here in NYC using one as rental property so when I’m ready to bounce I can sell or just keep them as rentals and call it a day.

Right now I am housing hunting in the suburbs of ATL right tho :shaq:

200k isn’t middle class in NYC. That’s a bold-faced lie. Plug-in 150K for NYC in that chart and it puts you in the top 20 percent of earners. @BigMoneyGrip People need to stop capping.

Yes by income. I'm over $125k in a supposedly "low cost" state GA. Having said that I don't think being middle class or even upper middle class is all it's cracked up to be. Sure it's obviously better than being lower class. Having said that middle class and upper middle class are still pretty much in the same bind as lower class folks. They still have to work everyday to maintain their life style. It's not like I could stop earning an income today and be ok. It just mean I can live in a nice area and drive a nice car, blah, blah. And they probably have enough in savings/investments/etc to last them a year or two unlike the lower class. At least some middle class folks do others don't.

In my opinion you need to be rich(not super rich). But if you make 2 or 3 million a year then that is game changing because you could probably live comfortably off the interest for the rest of your life. Then you could easily invest 100k in say a rental property without the overwhelming stress of it not working out. This is where I'm trying to get to. Only then will I feel like I "made it".

Based on your household income and the number of people in your household, YOU are in the MIDDLE income tier, along with 49% of adults in NEW YORK-NEWARK-JERSEY CITY.

Among all American adults with your education, age, race or ethnicity, and marital status, 55% are LOWER income, 41% are MIDDLE income and 4% are UPPER income.

This calculator is misleading, but with 200k it depends on the lifestyle someone is leading or aspires to. And millennials and gen-z who make that type of money usually had to have taken on substantial debt in order to be in a position to make 200k.

So you're the one person in America it said it for? That's literally my salary tier.
