Yes, but earlier, you posted that you considered an income of $350k "upper middle class", and yet now you are saying an income of $250k puts you in the top 1.5%.
How's this:
Poor=bottom 20%
Lower Middle=20-40th percentile
Middle=40-60th percentile
Upper Middle=60-80th percentile
Upper=80th percentile and up
I agree it is all a matter of definition, but how can you call the 99th percentile "upper middle class"?
