    Based on which definition?

    I feel like by most commonly used definitions I would be. About half my income (before taxes) goes into savings, my position is considered management, I make between 75%-200% of median national income, I have a graduate degree.

    I don’t make half that rate though.

    Not sure I think middle class is a useful method of classification though, but still curious why that specific number.

      It’s area dependent, I just picked one that wasn’t too high or too low.

        Picked my area and 29K puts you in the middle class, which is like $13/hr, and its pretty close to the national average for COL.
