Middle class and upper-middle class seem to have a vast range between $45K to over $100K. Middle is probably $45K to $60K and upper-middle, $60 to $120K. Rich, I think for many people, is being able to live off of investments or interest. Wealthy is probably being able to purchase most things without worry (most things as in comfortable houses, renovations, nice cars but not necessarily exotic cars, etc.). Oh, I guess wealth also includes assets. I'm not sure if I'm using rich and wealthy properly. Maybe they should be switched.
