This just lets me know that I waste way too much money.

That’s amazing that everyone of you makes over $145,000 a year.
I work for an engineering company. Almost everyone at this company with at least ten years experience makes more than $145,000 per year on average. That includes draftsman with no college degree. In fact, the average pay rate is $67 per hour (with overtime paid). So the average person makes $139, 360 without any overtime. Most of the people who make substantially less than $67 per hour are draftsmen who get time and a half for overtime, so they can get over $145,000 easily. And 68.73% have truck nuts!!!!

Squarely in the middle class with 51% of my metro area.
I swear I feel like I'm in the lower class sometimes trying to support two kids.

The issue with all of these stats is people's conception of "upper class."
My wife and I are both doctors, make a good living, and obviously fall into the upper category. We have a nice house and live in a nice neighborhood, but outside of that we do not live an extravagant lifestyle.
I think for most people that are on the lower end of the "upper" class it just means that you have enough disposable income to either live a fancy lifestyle OR build a nice nest egg, not both.

I'd be upper if it wasn't for having another kid recently.
Damn you, children!

I agree with that. 145k household income in Houston area with a few kids and you don’t have much discretionary money outside of proper savings for retirment.

Exactly. My wife is a doctor and I am a VP for a private company. We live in our modest, starter home still. After making contributions to all of our retirement accounts, our next biggest outflows are childcare and student loan debt. Yes, we made the decision to have a costly nanny, but it was the only realistic way to ensure we weren't taking off and her missing clinics or me missing too much work. The nanny is double my mortgage and the student loans are $1,000 more than my mortgage each month. After that, we just try to make smart decisions. I drive a thirteen year old car. We have a pretty tight budget, etc...

I would think that someone that is in the upper tier of one of the wealthiest places in America could afford something larger than an 1.1k sq ft house

How old are y’all? I’m guessing early 30’s?
