definitely have to ask single or couple or how man kids and where and when did they buy their house
there is a new lower middle class term now as well
brittle class , is a line between middle class and poverty , where the next thing that breaks or life issue can take you below that line.
it will vary from housing market to housing market
lots of people finding themselves in the brittle class
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

You can make any number up True. 97.65% of all figures are made up.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Here is the actual claim.
According to the data, the middle-class household income averages across the U.S. ranged between $52,000 and $98,500 in 2024. But the study also found that the income levels required to be considered middle-class varied significantly depending on where a person lived.

Here’s a nugget regarding # of people.
Pew defines a middle-income household (specifically, a family of three) as one that earns between $56,600 and $169,800 in 2022 dollars. Using the Labor Department's inflation calculator, that adjusts to roughly $60,882 and $182,646 in 2024 dollars.

Is that for an individual or is it per household? The thing is the huge variance in the cost of living in different areas. Around here 52k for a household would be tight but doable for some people. 98k is higher than a lot of households here. This is in rural southwest WI.
It would be easier if people lived within their means and didn't want to live a champagne lifestyle on a beer or water income. Amazing to me how many don't grasp don't spend more than you make. 52k here for a household would be poverty. Here is our current median household income, so I guess that would qualify as middle class. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/11/full-35779-237381-img_7515.jpeg)

You can make any number up True. 97.65% of all figures are made up. My point is who decides what is middle? Why does it start at 52? Why not 55 or even 60? 52 to 98.5 is a pretty big gap.

My high schooler makes $16-hr at Kwik Trip part time....If that was full time that's $32k/yr, add a wife that's $64k/yr....I think pretty tough to make it on that for a young couple
