Your understanding of what middle class looks like is ridiculously skewed. You live in a bubble where you barely even get a glimpse of what people living on a median income look like.
- omonra 11y agoYou are confusing middle income and middle class, they are not the same.
- harryh 11y agoYou are splitting hairs to create some sort of separation because acknowledging to yourself that you are rich makes you uncomfortable.
- omonra 11y agoOh no - I would have no problem admitting that. I'm a full-on classist and have no compunctions about it :) I'm not talking about myself here. That said - I do think that a family that earns just enough to maintain a 'middle class' lifestyle should be considered middle class.
- s_q_b 11y agoWell considering I lived well below the median level for several years, I'd like to think I have at least some idea of what it is like. I knew I could never afford a family or house at that level, much less retirement and college funds, so I put off having children, buying a home, etc.
