Granted I live in the Midwest, but my wife doesn’t work and I feel like we are doing very well on about $20-25k/month. I work chill ~30 hour weeks with only moderate stress, we live in a large house in a nice area that cost $400k (admittedly probably worth $650k or so now), and we are usually able to save at least $5k/month. Like a lot of middle class people we will inherit a few million at some point.
It’s hard to tell how much people are bragging about high incomes vs actual insane COL on the coasts, but places like the Bay Area and DC do legitimately feel like horrible places to live. Tons of shitlibs/homeless/violent URMs, millions of dollars for a tiny, shitty house, girlboss career shrews, etc. Why don’t more poasters work remote and ball out in a place like Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, or St. Louis? Far more CGWBT who will be impressed with a $200k+ income, less competition for more housing, plenty of the same screens people are looking at everywhere else.
If you guys are legitimately making high six figure incomes and are barely making ends meet with fat shitlib wives, are you really happy with your life choices?

flyover is almost inherently middle class
unless you own a fuckton of land or something

The AVERAGE house right now in America probably is costing you $3,000/month. Which means you probably need to make $150,000-$160,000 just to comfortably afford your average shitbox in your average cookie cutter development.
So probably double that to $6,000 a month for a UMC style house rather than an average house. Add on student loans and childcare, and you can see how an upper middle class lifestyle probably requires $400,000+.

Our mortgage on a 5k square foot house is less than 3k.
We live in an 80% white midwestern suburb, so public schools are great. Wife is a sahm, so minimal childcare costs. I don’t get why so many women want to shrew away at work when most of their salary goes back to childcare costs for some Mexican nanny who raises their kids.
I went to an expensive T14 but aggressively paid off student loans while I was single. Took me less than 5 years.
$20k a month is plenty for an upper middle class lifestyle in the midwest, so it’s mind boggling that xoxo can’t do it on several times that.

"Our mortgage on a 5k square foot house is less than 3k."
Who gives a shit?
By your own admission above your house would require about a $4,500 a month payment now. That means an income of $200,000+ not accounting for student loans or childcare.
It's not really relevant that you bougoht a house X years ago at a 2.75% interest rate.
