You can get a nice, new 4bedroom, 3 bathroom house on a couple acres of land for less thant $100,000. Plus, He just started out in his current job. With two degrees he'd better be making more than that soon.
Um, I don't think $18,000 a year is upper middle class anywhere, seeing as though that is barely above the poverty line.
