Default Re: Chance of at least middle-class lifestyle in US

[ QUOTE ]
It all depends how you define middle-class lifestyle. If you actually take the median family income, that is quite easy to attain under these three conditions. But most people on this board would not consider that to be "middle-class." I have heard people on this board describe making over 100K a year (perhaps 90th income percentile) as "middle-class," so I don't know what this really means in these parts.

Definitely not 100K by any means. I'm talking live in a reasonably safe neighborhood, have a car that runs well, and not have to work 2 jobs to support it. Maybe 30th percentile right now.
