Are you serious? Even in Russia 18000$ far not essential to belong to middle class. I always thought that one of the main signs of middle class is ability to afford a real estate. For example my income is more than 18000$ a year but I can't even think about buying a flat! So I can't consider myself belonging to middle class.
