Another thought, what defines your class isn't what you do with your money. It's what you have the ability to do.

If you make $40,000 here in the Philly area as a single guy, and you buy a BMW and you eat out and rack up big bar bills all the time, and you find yourself in debt and unable to pay your electric bill, I'm sorry, I don't feel sorry for you. You're middle class. You make enough money to support yourself adequately and comfortably by any developed nation's standards. It's the choices you're making that are putting you in your situation.

If you have no choice but to sacrifice things like health insurance or heat, then you are living at below-middle class levels.
