    What's a middle earner?

    Edit: What salary range classifies someone as a middle earner.

    It depends who you ask. An actual middle/average earner is about £30,000 in the UK - though I think normally when they say something like this, they mean something like £50,000 - £100,000ish - those who may appear to be "fairly rich" to others, but might themselves feel like they're "just about managing".
