Yes Dave you are upper middle class.
Definition of middle class is flexible. I looked up the demographics for a couple of counties that I know of. Richmond County in Va and Whitley County in In Kinda diverse and why did I pick them--well in-laws in one and my farm in the other. What I found interesting was the counties are about the same size in population and the average income is about $25K +/- with the household income average about 30K+. You live in a county like that with 100K income you are upper class.
Live in Fairfax County Va--just outside Washington DC--with average household income of 90K and average single family homes cost 400K+ and you are just middle class. Actually you would have a hard time buying a house. Here the garbage man (oops Waste Disposal Engineer) can't afford to live in the county that hires him.
What's my definition of middle class--you make about the median for your area and live a life that is average for the area.
