I am very much middle class in America - probably closer to lower middle class than upper middle class. But if you look on a worldwide scale, I'm in the top 1%. That's amazing to me.

Median individual income in the United States is $31,000.

So 50% of the country is making less money than that annually.

That should give you an idea of if you are "lower middle" or "upper middle".

For most people, middle class doesn't start until you get closer to 50-60k/year. Depends on the part of the country as you can live very comfortably and own a home on a lot less than that, but there are places where you live paycheck to paycheck on 75k.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
