    6 figures used to be ‘you made it money’. Like if you were making $100k a year, you were decidedly upper class. Now this puts you probably right smack in the middle of middle class, especially if you have kids.

    I’d say that ‘made it’ threshold is now probably around the $300k a year mark, if not higher.

      Depends where you are and your housing situation. I know people with no kids who inherited houses and make $30-35/hour and live like kings.
