I agree. I think 250k-300k and up would be considered upper-middle but still in the MIDDLE CLASS, not UPPER.
* Upper-upper class. "Old money." People who have been born into and raised with wealth.
* Lower-upper class. "New money." Individuals who have become rich within their own lifetimes.
* Upper-middle class. High-salaried professionals (i.e., doctors, lawyers, corporate executives).
* True-middle class. Professional with salaries and educational attainment higher than those found among lower-middle class workers (i.e.. professors, managerial office workers, architects)
* Lower-middle class. Lower-paid professionals, but not manual laborers (i.e., police officers, non-management office workers, small business owners).
* Upper-lower class. Blue-collar workers and manual labourers. Also known as the "working class."
* Lower-lower class. The homeless and permanently unemployed, as well as the "working poor."
According to this the job of landscaping is considered "upper-lower class" which is only higher than the homeless, but that's still lower-class even if you make 100k a yr.
