$200-$250k OR LESS FOR HOUSEHOLD is considered middle income, stop twisting the words around.
a household making 250K is not middle class, unless they have 4 or more dependents.
What if there were 4 people living in a household? $50k-$75k annually is considered middle income.
No, it's not. The median family brings in $50,000 a year, and if you divided it by 4 (assuming there are 2 parents and 2 children) that would be $12,500 per. capita. Thus, $50k-$75k is actually high.
I'm saying if there were 4 adults living in a household and each one made $50k-$75k a year, that's still considered middle income. What if they wanted to all live in the same house for whatever reason?
That is highly atypical. We're talking about real American families, not the cast of Jersey Shore.
Maybe some people don't want to own a home or start a family, not everybody lives a traditional lifestyle.
I think you are not going to find such arrangements very common, maybe in select cities such as NYC, SF and Seattle you might find a few such cases.It's probably not that uncommon, it just sounds like roommates with notably high incomes or two married couples living together, I know a ton of people who are roommates with married couples, even one who was a roommate with a couple with a kid. Granted that is in a major city but still...
But what is absurd is that four people who live in the same house are not a "household", they'd all be separate filers. You can bring up scenarios that make it even more absurd, let's imagine you have a house of four people all just out of college who average $30k, does that make that a household of six figure income?
