60k per year is around 3200€ per month after taxes. It could be comfortable upper class level life only if you own the place you live and have a small family without special needs. If you rent and have few children - you screwed.

I think we might have a different understanding of what "upper class" means. Upper class is the likes of Trump/Bezos/Musk/.

3200 Euros/month will not let you live even remotely near that. It's a decent middle class and that's it.

Upper class is definitely not Trump/Bezos/Musk. They exist beyond the upper class. Upper class are the kind of people to own holiday houses in nice coastal cities, "work" by running a business their parents left them and travel first class once a year.

Rich and famous isn't really part of the class system.
