Jim Blakeley, 43, a Ford Motor Company executive with personal assets totalling roughly $5.5 million, described himself as 'upper-middle class' Monday. 'I guess I'm pretty well-off. I make a decent upper-middle-class living, but I'm certainly not what you'd call super-rich,' said Blakeley, whose annual salary of $675,000 puts him in the top one-half of 1 percent of Americans. 'I know plenty of people who make way more than I do, but I get by with what I have.'
