In places like NYC, SF, LA, and D.C. 200k doesn't "feel" the same because usually, you are working under people who are making at least 2x that. The "executive" class in those cities is making substantially more than 200k. 200k in smaller cities is getting you access to executive-class amenities, neighborhoods, social networks, and most importantly private schools, whereas that is generally not the case in the aforementioned 4 metros for the "associate" class.

Middle class, but I think that's because I'm in Chicago. 
If I stayed in STL I'd be barely upper class.

Middle Class but I’m in NYC and clear well over 250k
Middle class. Although apparently I'm only like 5k away from being considered upper for my area.

If I ever think of something I'll come to you first
It all depends on whether your income would rise or lower due to the area that you are working in and job. If i took what i make in Chicago back home i would be middle class, but i would definitely get a COLA if i moved back so i would still be on the upper end.Upper Middle, because i live in sac, would be lower if i lived in a different part of california. would be even better off if i lived in another state probably though.

i actually got offered something with my company but it required relocation to Ohio last year and it was a promotion... and it was more money in Ohio where i'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to live, although i didn't even do the full research. but i wasn't ready to leave my friends and family behind. kinda glad i didn't especially since the pandemic hit like 6 months later and i'm almost certain that position no longer exists, whereas mine still does.
I’m middle, about 5K from upper in my area.
Once I’m done with this MBA I should be able to cross that easily if there’s an existing economy by then.
My rent is significantly lower than most so I probably am able to keep more than many people making much more than me.

After this pandemic is over I’ll make my way up to Sacramento. That’s where the money in my field is.Upper Middle, because i live in sac, would be lower if i lived in a different part of california. would be even better off if i lived in another state probably though.

I always like these, the NY Times did one I posted on here a year or so back. Upper in San Diego, also single, no kids, so the money goes way further. The closer socially and economically you get to the gilded tiers, you realize what's real money and what isn't, which is a frustrating place to exist in.
