If you're going by quintiles your upper middle class is 60th-80th percentile. That's 66k-105k household income for their parents. Even if you gave a 40% bump for NYC that's still not the life style you're describing.

yeah maybe not quintiles then. but i think there are 5 distinct classes, and probably not another number.
