upper-middle class

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.

Theatre Class 

An elective found in most high schools in which students are allowed to be creative and think "outside the box". The people in which think only gays and women do this class are ignorant. Theatre is the place in which you can let your mind unleash its creative side.

First Class Hangover 

The sensation resulting from the over-consumption of alcoholic beverages after being unexpectedly upgraded to first class on a flight. The free nature of the beverage service causes the individual to consume more than he/she normally would in a public setting.
Boss: Tim, you seem out of it today. Experiencing jet lag from your trip back yesterday?

Tim: No Sir, I have to admit that I had a bit too much to drink on the plane. I'm experiencing the first class hangover...

Cheap Boss: I’m glad to see that you are putting the company’s money to good use... I better not see those drinks on your expense report.

Tim: Don’t worry Sir, you wont. The flight was overbooked and I received a free upgrade to first class. To maximize the value of the company’s money, I thoroughly utilized the services included with the upgrade...Jackass.

Upper Class 

The Upper Class defines many different subspecies of humans (despite the small percentage of the population) of mainly two areas, Old Money and New Money.

The first species (Homo Republicanus) generally consists of old money. Homo Republicanus are generally very stubborn and angry and shouldn't be interacted with directly. They complain that the working class (they are called working for a reason) need to get off their lazy asses and should get harvard diplomas, afterall the upper class are working hard playing golf and paying their servants. Homo Republicanus believes that the liberals are communist and consider anyone below them in social class to be filthy peasants.

The second species (Nouveau riche Anubis) consists of more new money. Bill Gates would be an example, as well as many other people that have worked hard to become rich. Many people in this group are discriminated against by species such as Homo Republicanus because they aren't inbred and because they "intentionally" weren't born into the Upper Class. Although "new money" generally has more importance than Homo Republicanus because most of them have contributed to society instead of inherit wealth.
