In between is the middle class. There are middle class people who can afford to buy some of the stuff rich people buy, but if they lose their job they’ll be broke in a month or two.
- DubiousPusher 9y agoWhen you're poor, everyone else looks rich. When I was a kid, I assumed if you had a house you were rich and if you had one with stairs, holy Moses you were rolling in it.

Most middle-class people are neither poor nor rich, though they'll usually tell you that they're poor as fuck if the topic of money comes up. Very few of them have any perspective on where their income lies with respect to the median, and what a median lifestyle provides.
