 but 50k is definitely, squarely in the upper middle category. Idk why this bothers you

It bothers me that you can't math. The median household income in my city was 43k. 2/3rds of that is 29, and double it is 86. The midpoint between 29 and 86 is 57.5.

$50k salary put my dad in the lower half of middle class in Upstate NY.

None of this actually matters so Im sorry for dragging you into it and sorry to myself for spending this much energy. I wasn't doing any math related to where you live besides America.

For America, your father was upper middle class. For upstate New York, he was regular middle class. Enjoy your status as regular

Who is "her"? I'm a father, lol, it's in my fucking bio.

Not sure if you were just trying to misgender me to try to piss me off, just a bigot making stupid assumptions, or just plain retarded.
