>In many families, $250,000 gross income is certainly nice but is not rich. In the last twelve months, I've made close to 2....certainly nice, but I have a family and an extended family to take care of.

American upper middle class consists, strictly in an income sense, of professionals with personal incomes in excess of $62,500, who commonly reside in households with six figure incomes. The difference between personal and household income can be explained by considering that 76% of households with incomes exceeding $90,000 (the top 20%) had two or more income earners.
