before someone else comes in on it I'll note that families often say "we made x amount last year" while individuals say "I made x amount last year", it is up to whoever is putting the numbers together to determine how they want to deal with it.

At any rate a family I am going to suggest a family of three with 120,000 a year is probably around the same as young single guy with 50,000 a year. Which is just barely middle class.

I don't think the barely middle class is investing in anything (except for the ones with superhuman discipline, which I know some), and the ones who are actually in the middle of the middle class probably aren't going to have enough to fund early Amazon either, my disagreement was basically with the opinion that the middle class was much higher than 50k.
