<p>Wondering where you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41585240/if-the-average-american-household-is-a-millionaire-with-a-net-worth-of-1-06-million-why-do-peopl">land on the economic spectrum</a>? It can be tricky to pin down whether you consider yourself middle class, lower class or something else entirely.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Using income alone to define "class" doesn't always tell the whole story, but it's a helpful starting point. According to Pew Research, income levels and household size play a big role in determining where you might fit.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich"><strong>Are you rich?</strong></a><strong> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv"><strong>The percentage may shock you</strong></a><strong>.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Here's a breakdown and some real-world numbers to help you figure it out.</p>
<p><strong>Lower Class</strong></p>
<p>The lower class is usually defined as households earning less than two-thirds of the median income. For many, this means struggling to cover essential expenses like housing, food and health care.</p>
<p>What the Numbers Say:</p>
<p>Income range: Generally under $50,000 annually for most households.</p>
<p>Specific thresholds for a three-person household:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Nationally: Less than $56,600 annually.</li>
<li>By state: As low as $35,142 in Mississippi.</li>
</ul>
<p>Signs You Might Be Here:</p>
<ul>
<li>You're living paycheck to paycheck.</li>
<li>It's hard to save for emergencies or retirement.</li>
<li>Things like medical care, transportation or rent stretch your budget to the limit.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Middle Class</strong></p>
<p>The middle class is broad and often described as the financial "sweet spot." This group covers a huge range of incomes, but the key is a sense of stability – though it might not always feel secure.</p>
<p>What the Numbers Say:</p>
<p>Income range: Between two-thirds and double the median income or roughly $50,000 to $150,000 annually.</p>
<p>Specific thresholds for a three-person household:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nationally: $56,600 to $169,800.</li>
<li>By state: In New Jersey, $64,224 to $192,692. In Mississippi, $35,142 to $105,438.</li>
</ul>
<p>Signs You're Middle Class:</p>
<ul>
<li>You're paying bills comfortably and affording occasional extras, like vacations or dining out.</li>
<li>Big expenses like college or buying a home are stressful but achievable.</li>
<li>You're saving for the future, but not as much as you'd like.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Upper Class</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40021172/what-income-makes-you-upper-class-heres-what-you-need-to-rank-among-the-top-20">upper class isn't just about a big paycheck – </a>it's often tied to assets like investments, real estate or business income. According to Motley Fool, the upper class has an average net worth of $793,120 to $2.65 million.</p>
<p>These households usually earn more than double the median income and experience greater financial flexibility.</p>
<p>What the Numbers Say:</p>
<p>Income range: Generally over $150,000 annually.</p>
<p>Specific thresholds for a three-person household:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Nationally: More than $169,800.</li>
<li>Metropolitan differences: In high-cost areas like San Jose, California, only 42% of adults are middle class, while 41% are upper class. In more affordable areas like Olympia, Washington, 66% of adults fall into the middle class.</li>
</ul>
<p>Signs You Might Be Here:</p>
<ul>
<li>You're investing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39037986/are-you-richer-than-you-realize-majority-of-millionaires-think-theyre-middle-class">watching your money grow</a> rather than just saving.</li>
<li>Debt feels manageable and strategic, not like a burden.</li>
<li>Luxuries – travel, dining or a second home – don't require financial trade-offs.</li>

<p><strong>Other Factors That Matter</strong></p>
<p>Income is a big puzzle, but it's not everything. Here are a few other factors that can influence where you land:</p>
<p>Location: Cost of living differences mean $80,000 goes much further in rural areas than in big cities.</p>
<p>Household Size: A family of five needs more to maintain the same standard of living as a single person.</p>
<p>Net Worth: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41193824/are-you-rich-enough-to-be-in-the-top-1-heres-both-the-income-and-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-amon">Beyond your paycheck</a>, assets like savings, real estate and investments make a difference.</p>
<p>Social Mobility: Access to education, health care and financial resources is huge in long-term wealth.</p>
<p>Labels like "middle class" or "upper class" are just labels. What matters most is how secure you feel and whether your financial goals are within reach.</p>
