"Participation line" works, but I'd call it the "no worries line." Saving $40K-$60K at $140K annually leaves plenty to enjoy daily life and a buffer big enough to handle catastrophic costs. Planning still needed - it's not "rich" - but financial ruin shouldn't be a worry.
Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another

An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

Happy Thanksgiving! These are exactly the right kind of turkeys for my vegan friends on this day - still running around and not on a carving board. I hope you enjoy your meals, whether or not either kind of turkey is involved.

Let's make the ridiculous assumption that 99% of them were false reports done for malicious reasons or just yucks. That leaves 45 legit reports worth investigating. 45 reports deemed worth of investigation by the FBI in the minds of the ones reporting. #impeach

I'm guessing it was the summer of my 13th year that I broke my left ankle, because I didn't buy any of these issues, likely because I couldn't walk to the drug store.
