Definitely depends on where you live. Here we are make about $50k a year together with an area average pay rate of minimum wage ($7.50/hour) So we are probably considered middle class. But compared to a town just a few hours away we are considered lower class.

Median US salary is $48k. Poverty is like $27k. So I guess $48k +/- $10k?

I'm too lazy to perfect a definition, but not too lazy to waste keyboard energy submitting this post.
Why do you ask what is middle class? |
|

|
is this per person or household? It is ours for the household but definitely not per person.

I agree with stressless, I think most of us think of ourselves as middle class. I have a friend who does not have $5 to her name in savings and considers me very rich to have 6 figures in savings and 7 figures in net worth. But I consider myself middle class.
