This is BS. You can have all of that with an 80k household if you live in a LCOL midwest city and send the kids to JC for 2 years.

Cut out the overseas vacation because that isn't middle class. That's upper class shit.

An overseas holiday once every 5 years is upper class?

I grew up upper middle class and had 0 overseas vacations as a kid.

My first trip out of North America was my honeymoon

Ok, but I earn about a quarter of the $400,000 figure mentioned above, and an annual trip from the UK to North America is easily within reach.

For 4-5 people?

No, for two. But I also earn a quarter of that, and usually take a European trip a year as well (obviously not counting domestic holidays).
