Upper class to me are people who have a big house and all bills paid with no problems, nice newer cars, kids with university educations paid for (who all got their new cars while in high school), can afford medical insurance but don't necessarily NEED it. And a hefty retirement checks waiting for them.
We used to be Middle Class, but looking at the previous posts we've slid down a level. We own our home but live week to week. I have to be very creative in trying to feed 4 of us with the grocery prices going higher and higher, we've had no medical insurance for years because we can't afford it, own one car, and no cell phones. We get no government assistance at all.
