Historically that's not what middle class meant (it usually referred to closer to the top 10% who had to work for a living but were well off) but I agree. To me living on $10-15k/year with enough money to sustainably supplement another $10k/year seems pretty poor, but maybe I'm just too privileged to understand. Close to half of all americans couldn't handle an unexpected $500 expense which seems pretty poor to me too
- rootusrootus 8y agoMy understanding is that the common definition of middle class is in between working class and upper class, but that in America the people who most identify as middle class would be called working class anywhere else. Personally I tend to view it more as a mindset than an income range.
