If that's middle class, what's lower class, Mittens?

You gringos are weird.

Bros before hos.

My bro ran background checks on my girlfriends.

I ran my own.

[HVC]

My brother and I are really close.  There's a good chance we would never agree on anything (which wouldn't result in hurt feelings), but if we did we'll make it work.

I'll be here to tell ya I told you so

$200,000?  Thats well into the domain of upper class.
Doing a flat currency conversion $50,000 or so would seem to be roughly the working/middle class border (though of course it is an imperfect one and depends on your job and other stuff too).
Upper class....Well the $100,000 figure seems close to it.
You're upper class once money ceases to be a concern.

Money can very much be a concern for a family making $100K/year. That amount of spending money for a single young person - definitely wealthy (and a nice party), but for a family? Definitely depends, especially on location.

How does your brother earn so much money?

He sells insurance to insurance companies. He plays with billions of dollars everyday, and they pay him well for the privilege. He couldn't pass any of the actuarial exams so he chose this career path instead.

[Razgovory]

So he's dumber then Dguller?

[merithyn]

To me, any household with an income over $150k is on the wealthier end of things.

Anyway, how do you know how much your brother's household brings in?  I have no idea what my brother makes as that's something I'd never ask him (nor tell him if he asked).

He tells my mom when he gets a raise. She tells us. Or he tells us when he gets drunk.

[merithyn]

So he's dumber then Dguller?

Given his income, I don't think he minds.

I've known rocks that were dumber than guller.

They are making silicon pretty smart these days.

A rather American view, as an Englishman you should know that class has very little to do with household income 

[Admiral Yi]

I know how much my brother makes, but only because it came up in the context of him maxing out on the Georgia teachers' pay scale.

Even at $200k money is still a concern for a family. Not in any - oh we'd better watch out or we'll become destitute but certainly in a money is still an object and you can't spend it all willy nilly (/could be fucked over by a major illness if they didn't have the right insurance).
