So, a combined household income of less that $500,000. is considered "middle class"?

In my world you could knock off 1 of the zeros, and it would still be above middle class.  With that many zeros, around here you might be in the upper 5%.

It is for combined gross income.  I have lived in California my whole life.  The cost of living is expensive.  Any rinky dink studio or one bedroom apartment starts between $1,000 to $1,300 a month and I am being modest with that price.  Some apartments/houses are even more expensive depending in which area you live.  Uncle Sam also takes a good chunk of my salary for taxes.  So I gladly welcome any tax refunds that the state has to offer.

I just read that California has a $49 billion surplus and that is why they are returning money to the taxpayers.

Highest income tax of the 50 at 13.3%, then throw in maybe county and city. With that kind of surplus one would think!
