Settle this debate between wife and I - where do we belong
I grew up poor and am still scared of financial insecurity one day. She grew up solidly middle class. Not rich, but never struggled. I think we are upper middle class, she thinks we're well into upper class....
45/43 years old, no kids
$275k household income (I work, she's recently laid off)
$1.4M in brokerage
$3M in retirement accounts
$500k in primary home equity
$500k in rental home equity.
NW - ~$5.4M
