With what social class do you identify?

[Polish3d]

I thought about adding a poll but I'm less interested in the ratios we have here and more interested in with what class people identify and why...

I read (on Wikipedia) that up to 6% of Americans identify as "upper class" which is a much looser definition than I would have thought accurate.

For the record, I'm not personally sure, but I commonly think of it as being somewhere between upper-middle and upper.

(Because: my parents make a combined income of around 375-425k, one has a trust fund worth several million, and they have ownership in a company worth (assuming the company continues) between 4-15 million (or so), and they live in an "upper class" part of the country - In one of Atherton / Palo Alto / Menlo Park / Hillsborough / Woodside, CA )

I have always called my self a redneck yuppie. Because that's what I am.

OP is totally upper class.

HH income of >400K puts you in the top 1% of the country.

Your family is upper class, what have you done to fit into that category?

probably solidly middle... I don't live paycheck to paycheck, but I definitely have to watch my finances carefully.

I can guarantee most people here are middle/upper middle class.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

upper middle? iono. single parent family though, but we don't qualify for financial aid, our house is worth ~1.8 million, college was paid for by my mom.

me? middle. my salary is ~65k. well what the hell i don't have much assets, but my income is surely at middle class. if i keep working hard and doing well I should end up upper middle.

Good for your parents.

Too bad they raised a huge tool.

My mom fed me on food stamps but she was Catholic, so I learned shame early.

I'm in the middle class now... barely.

I'd say middle class. I have a car and a house. I live in a nice and safe part of town.

 

[Kadarin]

Strictly middle class here.

 

[TallBill]

I'm lower class baby! But I have far less money issues than most middle class peeps.

 

[lxskllr]

Lower middle

Vanishing middle class, checking in. I always think of upper class as 'people who never have to work again'.

You've got the bold part right.
