re: What do you consider as Middle Class in America today?

Sociologist Leonard Beeghley identifies a male making $57,000 and a female making $40,000 with a combined households income of $97,000 as a typical middle-class family.[

I'd say this is pretty close to how I feel about middle class.

Something like an accountant (non-CPA) married to a teacher, for some reason that combo just jumps out to me as typical middle class.

ETA: IMO, upper middle is from 125-175k. These numbers will obviously vary based upon location.
