Do you mean $200,000 a year or in assets?

By any means, I don't see how that's "blatantly middle class", even considering housing costs. Housing costs are the same whether you're wealthy or not.

More money means more money, if you have more, you're not "getting by like everyone else". Everyone else also has to pay all those things, wealthy or not.

Also I'd argue that most people in that range aren't busting their ass more than anyone living at minimum wage.
