the middle class is doing just fine, you're just not middle class! i make $320,000 a year and barely am middle class, have a nice house and pay mortgage by myself and support my wife, we don't have anything very fancy and we cook and stay in a lot. 1-2 international trips a year for fun. my job is full remote, not very stressful or overkill, 35-40 hr weeks. medium cost of living area in the us, not coastal.
