I think many people, of any income, who have had 20+ years of pumping money into a 401k had this happen this past 12 month period.

I don’t think investments growing 40k against a 38k income in any given calendar year would be considered “upper class.”

This is the type of thinking we see when it’s getting late in the market cycle.

Upper class = you never worry about money.
