I can’t read the article, but I hope their definition of upper middle class adjusts for the steep inflation in housing. If my family knew how much I made, approximately the top 1% of incomes, they’d think I live a fantastically luxurious lifestyle. In reality, I live in the same kind of 3 bed 2 bath house I grew up because houses are now 5x more expensive.
