Poll: What social class did you come from?

5 points by vaksel ↗ HN
I'm interested to know which social class your average hacker comes from. I used wiki to get the info of what class = what money, so it might be off. Since people tend to have some movement in their social class, use the highest # before you turned 22

This will be a difficult poll since almost everyone thinks they're middle class. I guess concrete numbers should add some clarity.

BTW, the dollar amounts are kind of meaningless for non-US natives. For example, I'm from Argentina, where the US dollar has gone from 1 peso to thousands of pesos during my lifetime (it's now around 3 pesos, after several sheddings of zeroes in the peso's part).

well its mostly by class, the $$$ is for people who don't really know...if you are foreign born list whichever class your parents were, at the age of 22.

There's a big difference between a family making $75K and $250K a year. I wouldn't lump them together as 'upper middle class'
