Most of the things on this list are just about people who are intellectually curious. Valuing education. Appreciation for the arts and childhood development. Reading books for fun. Knowing about good food. Most of these things apply to me and I'm nowhere near upper anything. It's not so much a class distinction as simply not being an ignorant hillbilly.
A single mother can still be upper middle class if they have a high-paying law or corporate job or if the inherited assets are there to make up for the loss of a stable male presence in the household. All single mothers tend to be unfairly painted with the same brush as struggling Associate Degree holders on welfare. Working and lower middle class couples aren't the only ones that get divorced people.
You are upper middle class if you pay more in taxes than the median income in the US. You are also probably upper middle class if your taxes and savings are the majority of your monthly expenses

huh... never thought about it like that... but I would agree.. although I'm not sure if I would classify savings as "expenses", but I think I get what you are saying: taxes and savings is where most of the money goes each month.

I treat it as an expense and it's the first on that gets paid every payday. All other expenses are secondary in my mind because my retirement bill/financial security should be my biggest priority
