The "middle class" can be a tricky term to fully understand. When it comes to defining what it means to be middle class, the answer often varies relative to the respondents' personal income level. Individuals that earn less than $50K understand middle class income to range from $45K to 80K. On the other hand, people making more than $100K per year are much more lenient with their classification, identifying the middle class as those who earn from $50K to 150K per year.
