Know Your Place!
NYT provides helpful calculator to determine your class.
Ok, I must admit I'm a fool for web based survey thingys.... The NYT's has one today about "Class", which is ironic becuase the criteria have more to do with economic well being and education levels...but hey...it's the Times. Check it out.
Shockingly...my results are:
Occupation:84th percentile
Education: 99th percentile
Income: 93rd percentile
Wealth: 85th percentile
Average: 90th percentile
The shocking thing is that I lost my keys this morning and have about $20 bucks in my checking account right now....but the Times thinks I'm classy...Paris Hilton Classy I guess. What's your score?

Funny thing is, is that I don't feel like I live in the 90th percentile on this silly test. I have bills, bills, bills and when those are paid, student loans. Kind of shocking that some kid from a small midwestern town could get to this point.. I'm very thankful...but I don't feel particularly execptional or 'rich' ....
