💰 Are You Really Middle Class? Here's What the Data Says 💰

What it takes to be middle class in America varies wildly by state. According to SmartAsset, a family needs anywhere from $49K in Mississippi to $90K in D.C., Maryland, and Massachusetts to qualify. In high-cost states like California and Hawaii, the middle-class threshold is $85K+, while states like West Virginia and Arkansas sit below $55K.

As a financial planner, I urge families to benchmark their income against their state’s cost of living. Living in a high-income state without a matching financial strategy could mean falling behind—even if you earn more than others in different parts of the country.
