The problem is that everyone has a different definition of “rich”. I think OC has a good definition.
I’m not personally a fan of “middle-class” meaning “has about as much money as me, or as much money as I’d like to have”, or “anybody who has to work for a living, but doesn’t need to use a food bank”.

There’s a whole other level of rich out there that make your rich friends look practically frugal.

That’s why there tends to be separation in the type of middle class. “Lower Middle class” “Upper Middle Class”
