Despite what you might hear if you make more than 60k USD a year you are fairly well off.

For the US take your salary divide by 50k and say "I make X times the average household income in the USA."

That may make you middle class, or even lower upper middle class if you want to stretch it, but i doubt you could be called rich on that salary.

It depends where you live. In San Francisco, 60K is just scarping by. In Topeka, you're doing pretty well.

At the time I was living in Philadelphia. A year prior I had been living in San Fran or a touch under 70k and barely making it.
