"Upper-middle" is a term that indicates a financial status. In the United States, the amount of money you make determines what "financial class" you are in. "Upper-middle class" means that a person or family makes over $70,000 a year. They can usually afford their bills without any issues along with being able to afford items that they want. Ex: She is upper-middle class. Ex: He makes enough money to be considered upper-middle class. Ex: I wish I made enough money to be upper-middle class.
