Hitting your 50s can bring a lot of questions — about health, career and, yes, money. One big one? “Am I where I should be financially?”

Whether you’re feeling confident or just plain curious, it’s natural to wonder how your net worth compares to others your age. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it takes to be considered upper class in your 50s, here’s the breakdown.

Also here is the line between middle class and upper-middle class in every state.

“Usually we see an upper-income household, as a relative measure to others,” said According to Jason Pack, chief revenue officer at Freedom Debt Relief.

Basically, sitting in the top 10% to 20% of all households in terms of income and net worth usually means you’re enjoying relative financial freedom and security to live a comfortable life. According to the Fed’s data, you’re in the top 20% if you have a net worth between around $1 million and $1.5 million in your 50s.

But if you’re not there yet, it doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t an upper-income household. Pack said these numbers are based on national averages and the cost of living fluctuates so wildly across America that we should take them with a grain of salt.

For example: $1 million in San Francisco doesn’t stretch nearly as far as more affordable towns and cities and the upper-income averages shift significantly.

According to Pack, there’s also the matter of quality of life, which is arguably a lot more important than any hard numbers.

“Many people in their 50s consider the upper class to include anyone with real financial independence,” he said.

It’s more about whether that accumulated wealth can reliably generate enough passive income for them to live the lifestyle they want, indefinitely, without having to constantly worry about drawing down their savings too quickly.

Chitra Patel, certified financial planner (CFP) and CEO and founder of WealthWorth, said that in your 50s, your net worth isn’t just a number — it’s a reflection of how well you’ve managed debt, maximized retirement contributions, grown taxable and tax-deferred investments and planned for major events like college, business succession or retirement.
