Rich in the 60's for sure. Shit even poor in the 60's wouldn't be too bad.

Seriously. The top 1% actually starts at $350,000. Middle income, depending on where you live, is between $30,000-$80,000.

And I'd rather be rich in the 1960's. Many drugs weren't yet legal at this time, although as an Asian woman I might have endured more racism. If I was guaranteed no discrimination though, then for sure 1960's.

All of the houses in approx. 20 sq miles of where I live are 1-2 million dollar houses. Are you saying they are ALL upper class? It's all demographics. I should have just said well off... 

Don't need to make it so technical.

Yes. They would be considered upper-class. Hence why there are "upper-class neighborhoods" and "lower-class neighborhoods."

Statistically, the top 1% actually begins at $350,000 a year.

You stated middle-income. As boredone said, middle income is right around $45,000 for almost all states: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States

Here is another one, as recent from 2013...

Quote:

Richest 1% earn biggest share since Roaring '20s

since the recession officially ended in June 2009, the top 1 percent have enjoyed the benefits of rising corporate profits and stock prices: 95 percent of the income gains reported since 2009 have gone to the top 1 percent.

The top 1 percent of American households had pretax income above $394,000 last year. The top 10 percent had income exceeding $114,000.

Yeah. And people in the 1960's weren't very good looking so I would be like, considered a beauty queen or some shit if I was born back then.

I would also be able to commit many crimes and have a better chance of getting away with it. Carjacking, murder, arson, banking fraud, etc.

If the wealth differential was between having to work and not having to work not having to work would trump almost anything.

I can go on the Internet and download/read just about anything I want, I can go to google and learn about almost anything I want to.  I would take the Internet over any amount of money.  Plus, porn from the 60's sucked.

Dude, I can't tell you how magical it was to hide in the closet, jerking off watching my dads old 90mm real 2 real set up under my clothes in the closet. Wasn't the 60's, but the porn was... Trust me, it didn't matter.

I'd rather be well off today. We're making big strides medically, politically, and in many other ways. I don't want to live in a backwards time.

Millionaire in the 60's.  I meet OPs definition of "middle income" and its not all that great.

I'd like to be ignorant of today's technology though.

If you're extremely wealthy you can buy a library. You could pay women to perform naked in front of you, I hear they got pretty freaky in the 60s.

That's close to where I sit, and if things go the way I want/plan lower than where I sit.
I would rather be here now then be their then.
