Middle class varies beyond recognition depending on which culture you're looking at --- I suspect you're overgeneralising your own. (Weekly paycheques? Laundromats which are cheaper than washing clothes yourself? Neither of those are things where I come from...)

- redblacktree 11y agoWhen you say "washing clothes yourself," do you mean with a laundry machine and dryer, or in the river? Certainly, it costs more to do laundry at a laundromat on a per-load basis, but having your own washer and dryer is a capital investment many people can't afford to make.
