The Upper Middle Class doesn't start at $60,000 household income. $60k per family is squarely middle class. The upper middle class is better described as the professional or managerial class, and consists of mostly white collared professionals or successful small business owners. Typical professions in the upper middle class are biglaw lawyers, physicians, dentists, accountants, consultants, school principals, and engineers with managerial roles. Many have advanced degrees beyond college. They tend to live in cities during their 20s, marry in their late 20s or early 30s, and move to wealthy suburbs with good school districts (education is highly valued) when the kids come. The political affiliations of the upper middle class vary greatly with age and region in the country. Household incomes vary from $100k to $500k. Most upper middle class families still depend on salary and their day job to sustain their lifestyle. In America, the poor thinks they are in the middle class and the middle class thinks they're in the upper-middle class, while the upper middle class thinks they're typical middle class Americans.

Persons with a graduate degree, PhD, or professional degree, a household income of over $65k and more than $250k in net worth. This group is also often divided into the professional class and managerial class, as most persons in this group tend to be either professionals such as economists, political scientists, engineers, and post-secondary educators, or hold managerial positions in the corporate world. The division is made since persons belonging to the professional upper-middle class tend to be more liberal in their political beliefs and have more chic-urban tastes. Persons belonging to the managerial upper-middle class, on the other hand, tend to be more conservative in their political beliefs as well as their taste preferences. Most of the people living in my suburb are upper-middle class
