I would say its relatively common.

The median after tax income is around $100,000. So pretax median is maybe 140,000-150,000.

That's for an average joe family.
200K for a two income family isn't out of reach, but can be difficult, especially if you did not or were not able to get any post secondary schooling.
I would call it the fringes of being in the middle class.

I don't know many people at all where the couple makes combined over $200,000.
those people don't mingle with mine, I guess.

maybe there isn't enough classes.

by some of the responses here my family is living in poverty. I'd like to think I'm middle class, but maybe I'm worse off than I thought.
