Rich = wealth. Can you afford to not work and live off investments? Then you're rich. In most parts of the country, that's a net worth of $3+mm. In CA or Eastern cities, maybe $10+mm
Upper middle class = living well, but working for it. Depends
entirely on where you live, number of dependents, etc. You cannot put an income number on it without taking those variables into account. $200k/year is doing very nicely if you live in Louisville, KY, it's near the poverty line in NYC.
Middle class = doing OK, but passing on some of life's luxuries. I'd estmate household income of $50-150k depending on where you live and--again--number of dependents.
Working class = Struggling a bit, watching your money, shopping at Wal-mart, not the mall. Working extra jobs to make ends meet. Not saving enough. Etc.
Poor = well, less than that.

Hah! I guarantee the people who'll give you "help" will adjust those classifications generously--and not in your favor.
