Are You in the American Middle Class?

A little more than half of American adults live in middle-class households, but it seems like almost everyone thinks they are middle-class.

It takes your income into account, of course, but also your household size and where you live, because the cost of living varies so much in different parts of the country. Enter your data, and try not to be too disappointed with the results. -via Mental Floss
