Living what's considered a middle-class lifestyle has become increasingly difficult for many Americans with the rising cost of owning a home, more stringent mortgage financing, and fewer high-paying jobs in communities across the country.
One particular town in the Seattle metro-area boasts is considered one of the best places in the U.S. for middle-income people to live, in part because what's considered middle-income is so high, according to a new study.
Researchers with GoBankingRates.com recently investigated the cost of living middle class across the U.S. to find where middle-income individuals are living their best lives.
They found the cost of living middle class in Bellevue, Washington ranges anywhere from $70,268 on the low end to a whopping $210,804 on the upper end.

The upper limit of the 'middle class' was calculated by multiplying the median income of people in the area by two. That's $210,804 for Bellevue, where the median income is a huge $105,402.
Bellevue is located just 5.6 miles from Microsoft's world headquarters in nearby Redmond, Washington and just 2.5 miles from billionaire Bill Gates' home in neighboring Medina, Washington, Komo News reported.
So it's likely that the presence of so many high-earning tech workers has pushed the middle-class earnings number up.
Median income in Seattle has grown by 25.4 percent over the last five years, according to the study authors, who estimate middle income in the whole city to be between $53,043 and $159,130.
Bellevue's median income grew by 19.7 percent over the same period.
Seattle and Bellevue ranked fourth and ninth respectively on the list of places where the middle-class are thriving.

One particular town in the Seattle metro-area...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
