This Was the Salary Required To Be Upper Middle Class in 2015
Many people aspire to join the upper middle class and make enough money to cover their expenses while keeping up with regular monthly investments. The bar has steadily gotten higher due to inflation, and it's a testament to how fiat currencies lose purchasing power over time. Explore More: Read Next: For instance, data from Pew Research suggests that you had to earn more than $169,800 per year in 2022 to be a part of the upper middle class. That's $194,149.55 in today's dollars using the CPI Inflation Calculator provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. We can use this same calculator to determine how much people had to earn each year to be a part of the upper middle class in 2015. The CPI Inflation Calculator indicates that a $142,622.89 salary was enough to be considered a member of the upper middle class in 2015. That comes to $11,968.57 per month. Expenses are always lower if you look back a few years due to regular money printing. That's why a salary that was good enough a decade ago may no longer be sufficient. However, it's important to note that the pandemic resulted in record money printing, which led to significantly higher inflation for a short period of time. Check Out: Inflation wasn't too bad before the pandemic, as it mostly hovered between 2% and 3% each year. However, 2021 to 2023 made living costs significantly higher. Here's the breakdown of how much buying power $169,800 in 2022 had in the following years: 2015: $142,622.89 2016: $145,086.87 (reasonable inflation growth rate) 2017: $147,807.07 2018: $151,947.17 2019: $154,667.37 2020: $154,849.76 (notably low inflation due to lockdowns reducing how much we spent, but this is an anomaly) 2021: $162,580.96 2022: $169,800 (the original figure used in this calculation) 2023: $183,678.22 (substantial increase) 2024: $189,682.72 (still a big increase that starts to moderate) 2025: $194,149.55 (further moderation in the growth rate) Higher living costs have been the norm for decades. The best way to deal with inflation is by investing in assets that grow at a faster rate than inflation. Other strategies involve working harder and smarter, which require short-term and maybe even long-term sacrifices, depending on your financial situation. Some people may have to work longer hours or consider weekend shifts. Developing career skills that can help you get a higher-paying job can help you earn more money while working less. A side hustle may also be necessary. You can eventually turn some side hustles into full-time career opportunities if you stick with them. It may also be worth job hopping. You can get a higher salary with a different company, and if you like your current company, you can use a new job offer as leverage to get a higher salary. Cutting costs is another great strategy, but there are limits to how much you can cut. Focusing on income growth is the best way to combat rising inflation.

50 Stocks to Target For the Rest of the Year
It was a roller coaster ride for the stock market in the first half of the year. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) was down 15% at one point, then rallied to finish positive by over 5%. This week I'm looking at what to expect in the second half of the year for the major index based on the first half. Also, I look at the historical data comparing the best first half stocks to the worst first half stocks to see which ones we would prefer being invested in for the next six months. The table below looks at second half returns for the S&P 500 going back to 1950. Based on this, the better stocks perform in the first half, the better they tend to perform in the second half. With the index up about 5.5% on the year, that puts it right in the middle of that second column in which the S&P 500 has averaged a 4.67% return in the second half with 75% of the returns positive. I mentioned earlier that the S&P 500 was down about 15% before finishing the year in the black. There have only been two other years since 1950 in which the index was down double-digits in the first half at some point, then rallied to a positive first half return. That was 2016 and 2009, in which stocks were rallying after the 2008 financial crisis. After those two instances, July was very strong with a 3.6% and 7.4% return, respectively. In 2016, the index was up 6.7% for the whole second half and in 2009, it gained over 20% in the second half. In this section, I'm determining whether it's typically better to buy the top-performing stocks from the first half of the year, banking on momentum, or the worst performers, assuming they tend to rebound in the second half. The data below summarizes the second half returns for the 25 best first-half stocks, the 25 worst first half stocks and the others. It turns out, buying one of the best performers was just as good as buying one of the worst performers and either of those beat the ones in between. Over the past ten years, buying the best 25 stocks in the first half of each year or the worst 25 stocks in the first half of the year would have averaged a return of 13% or 11% in the second half. Buying the stocks with a moderate return would have averaged about 7.4%. The returns have been better with the best and worst stocks but both of those have come with higher volatility. These last two tables show the best 25 S&P 500 stocks so far in 2025 and the worst 25 stocks in the S&P 500. Based on the data above, stocks from these two tables tend to outperform the other 450 (or thereabouts) stocks of the index.
