No way $100,000 is middle class. I am originally from Pennsylvania and have lived in Florida for 16 years now and I know very, very few people that make a $100,000 or more.
These are people that own their own homes, have two cars and work with kids.
My philosophy always was people are like a alligator in a tank and you can only get as big as your tank.
Too many people try to chase that dream of the $100,000 lifestyle that's why we see so many bankruptcies plus people are in debt up to thier neck.
It's not how much you make but how savvy you spend what you got. I am going to say the middle class average in America is $60,000 based on 50% above that and 50% below that. That said I know plenty of people who make $40,000 a year with kids and live just fine. No trips to Europe, but have a roof over thier head and eat fine and enjoy life.
