In regard to all the comments saying “this isn’t what middle class is”, in a way they are all correct...it’s important to see that there are no clear borders between the different classes, and that they are all performative statements. 

I mean, there is not one way only to divide society in classes, there are various schools of thoughts with various sets of datas that define which class is which. In the USA I guess OP’s statement would mean lower-middle-class (but I could be wrong) because the American School has sub-categories to each social class that allow this refining.
And wealth isn’t the only criteria it takes in consideration. There is a whole culture within each class and sub genre of class to consider : manners, tastes, references, vocabulary, networking, family history, potential mobility etc. 

The majority of Americans consider themselves to be “middle class” even when they wouldn’t be classified as such by an sociologist who has access to the bigger picture. My guess is it’s because we tend to surround ourselves with our kins, creating a bias on what “normal” is. 

So for example, someone who is lower-upper-class that’s surrounded by very wealthy folks could see themselves as “middle class” because of how hard it is for an individual to fathom the full range of wealth disparity.
