Depends on your location. Rural Louisiana, it means your parents are college graduates and own their own business. Upper East Side of NYC, it has to be C just to get you in the door.

I think if you're family makes more than $150,000 a year, after taxes, then you have a pretty nice spoon.
If we're referencing "old money" silver spoon then I think the families net worth needs to be more $20 million. Also, don't forget net worth and what a individual household brings in are two totally different things.

Anyone whose parents give them everything and don't teach them how to do it themselves. $ part is relative.

My parents taught me how to ask for money, and get it. It has worked wonders in my grown up, professional life.

I would say it doesn't have as much to do with income as it does with the mentality of parents giving their children everything they want as long as they can afford it. Being born with a silver spoon in my mind, is being born never wanting for anything and getting everything they point at without ever learning the value of a dollar.

Our fancy spoons were some KFC sporks

It's all about perspective. A poor, inner city kid probably thinks an upper middle class Jesuit kid was born with a silver spoon.
The Jesuit kid probably doesn't agree.
I know plenty of kids who went to Andover, Choate, Groton etc and i'd say most of them were born with silver spoons. They had summer "cottages" larger than any home on St. Charles. Access to private jets. Vacationed all over the world. Had money for almost anything they wanted.

Any kid who never worked for anything. If mom and dad are paying for everything, it applies. Kids usually grow up with trust funds.

It really depends on where you live. $150k in NYC makes you slightly below middle of the road.
$150k in LA, youre doing pretty well, though that depends on how many kids you have.

My dad had a silver spoon.
I got something off the floor resembling a spoon off the floor of his woodshop.
Told me I need earn what I have. (But he was always there for me)

Doesn't matter if you had a spoon, only counts if you had the matching small silver cup to go along with it. Preferably monogrammed so you could tell which generations it was from.

This. I'm sure there's some $ involved but it doesn't have to be $1M.

I've got relatives who are around the 10MM mark. Their kids are effed when it comes to money. And they really didn't have that type of money until the kids were in college. I have one cousin who spends every dime of his paycheck, because he doesn't need retirement or savings. Parent's still buy his vehicles and stuff. Annoys me, because he knows I make more than he does and he's constantly calling me cheap, because I don't blow my money on the same stuff he does. He has no concept that other people actually have to save their money since they will not be inheriting millions of dollars.
