Click on midwest or anything else, and see the cost it is to live in the "upper middle class". Note, that's not middle-upper class. Also you want to note that those incomes are all post-tax. So add about another 40% on and you'll see how much you'll need to earn per year to be upper middle class. i would like to see his definition of middle class. i guess this puts most of us into the welfare levels.

oh yeah, finally went to the dentist, result? Root Canal. my own damn fault for not going last year when they could've filled the cavity before it got to this point. another costly life lesson.
