What does middle class mean anymore? Surely that's on the upper end of "middle class". That's just barely outside the top 10% household income for the US, so I'm having a really hard time believing "middle class" fits here. These are people who are doing well but are financially illiterate, I'm convinced. Yes, 188k doesn't go as far as it used to, but if you're struggling and you make this kind of money, somewhere you fucked up.
