Define “lots”
How old are you? What are your bills? How much do you make a year?

In 2005, 42% of US households had two or more income earners; as a result, 18% of households could say they made 6 figures but only 5% of individuals had six-figure incomes. To illustrate, two nurses each making $55,000 per year can out-earn, in a household sense, a single attorney who makes a median of $95,000 annually.

But who's upper middle class? The attorney of course.

of professionals with personal incomes in excess of $101,000. The difference between personal and household income can be explained by considering that 76% of households with incomes exceeding $90,000 (the top 20%, $170,000 to cross this threshold in 2020 dollars) had two or more income earners. In 2024, the threshold for entering the top 15% of American household incomes is $202,000

Yea, so I'm probably not quite upper middle class but damn do I come close.
 
My 401K. My money with Charles Schwab. My rollover 401K from the 90's. My rollover 401K from the 2000's. I have some ROTH investments with my bank. Do you want my mothers maiden name?

Oh yea and my $20K I put in a 5% CD for 7 months. Due in March. That's in case I lose my job. Plus my checking account is over $15K. When it goes over $20K I invest $10K. I always want to have $10K in checking and $20K I can tap into if I need it come March.
You are showing minuscule retirements. You’re not remotely wealthy

Well my brother said in order to really retire comfortably you should have $3 million. I won't have that. But I should have $1 million minimum and assuming $400K from my dad. Let's call it $1.5 million. $60K a year if I make $4%. Plus let's say $2000 a month social security. Let's call it $80K a year while retired.

I'm certainly not poor.

When I die my nephews are going to rent out my condo on the lake for $2000 a month. The bills including the boat will be $1500 a month. That means every month $500 will go into a bank account, plus the value of the condo when they decide to sell it AND they have a boat on a local lake every summer. Pretty sweet huh? To have a tenant pay for your boat?

You know what else makes me "feel" rich? My brother has a hunting property up north (opening day is tomorrow), a condo in Florida and a home in Greece. So while I will only be making $80K a year when I'm retired, I will have free access to 3 sweet vacation properties. And I don't have to pay the taxes on any of these places. Not even the electric bill. LOL.
 
The woman who started it all...Mean jean oakerland always introduced her as "The Ladies HEAVYWEIGHT Champion" :laugh:

That's a fact. BUT, compared to the median, I'm doing GREAT! Not quite upper middle class but damn close.

One thing I lack. Job security. If I lost my job, I would be worried about finding another job. I mean, I know I will find one, but will it pay what this job pays? Probably not. Luckily it doesn't need to. I could literally pay my bills making $10 hr now.

Being single and 50. Must be nice

It is. I do what I want to do. No nag.

I'm starting to see people die or divorce. Those people I feel sorry for. In their 50's or 60's and sad and lonely. Me I'm used to being single. So now I actually prefer it.
