$97,300 is the low income threshold for a family of 4 in California. Congrats on making it into the lower middle class.

And my house doesn't need to rapidly increase in value for me to base my financial worth around because I think I got a great deal on it 2008 or 2018 and I couldn't see myself living anywhere else

That’s nothing. You need like $300k to live a middle-class lifestyle in NYC (living with roommates does not qualify for middle class)

When I was a kid, I was terrified of the fact that even the best case scenario people pointed out for me was to go to college so I can get a job that makes 6 figures. Absolutely hellish that being successful means working hard for the opportunity to work even more than poor people for money just like them and the only thing you have over them are better toys.
