what is the annual household income? Needs to be in the $350k range for upper middle in the US

>>17286401
What the hell are you smoking? Upper middle class starts at $100k (does vary by location)

As far as I know, the suburbs of Missouri are like 300k for upper middle.

4 bedroom house, 2 car garage, one of the nicer suburbs.

We each drive boring cars. Dad has a Civic.

Household income is probably 150k, but not sure exactly. I think the most Dad made in a year was 200k.

We never travel overseas as a family, never do outdoor sports, and rarely go to pro sports games.

350k is upper class. Upper middle class is just something rich people call themselves to make themselves feel more relatable and less intimidating to the average Joe.

depends on your income, not your occupation lol.
Also depends on your area, I live by NYC so it's a bit harder. Based on this we are top 2-4%. I have a few friends who have parents that make 500k and one of my oldest child hood friends father made 1.5M last year.

nope, upper class doesn't kick in till you have a household annual income above near 1 million. I moved into a neighborhood and my home was $800k and I'm the poor upper middle guy. You are upper middle if you have 1million - 2million in assets and there is a fucking huge difference in 1-2 million and someone with 5-10 million in assets. My neighbor down the street has 4 homes scattered throughout the US, none smaller than 4000 square feet.

sounds like upper middle to me, depending on where you live

also, if your neighborhood is one of the big ones in the area, you know whats around. if not, IDK take a few hours and drive through some neighborhoods in the area, just to see how they rank. if yours ranks high, that would be the "upper" part

Does it make a big difference if my dad has always been a developer and never went into management?

I'd say it mostly depends on your combined family income, and also how many siblings and/or dependents the breadwinners have.

My father was an engineer, mother was a social worker. Both had college educations, and made a decent living for the region. We lived in the suburbs, but I have 5 brothers and sisters, one of them has kids and needed to be supported for a while. There's also grandparents that need help when they get old.

Even if your combined family income is considered statistically high, when you divide it up I feel like I didn't have much, but lots of people would still consider me at least middle class, I don't know if it's upper or lower. Now that I'm an adult I'm barely above the poverty line and feel like I've never had really nice things. But there are always people in worse shape.

If you don't have a job and/or do not live independently of your family, you have no class.
