You aren't working class of you are trying to get your own company started.

  It's perfectly possible to do on a coding salary... in Missouri. I did it, and in fact I still am doing it. I still have have my day job. My big expenses are heavy industrial equipment leases ($7k/mo), electricity ($2k/mo in the summer), and titanium ($1-10k/mo, depending on order volume). I mostly make pistol grips. The CNC machines run all day while I code, and I live in a camper inside an aircraft hangar at my factory. It's beautiful. I'm not an expert on LA, but I really don't think I could have made my dream a reality in that particular place. I think I'm working class... I certainly work a lot and I go to work during the day :-)

    This is amazingly close to my current game plan... though I don't do anything related to weaponry.

  Sorry to tell you that having a side business to get by is nothing but working class. Suffering from the delusion that you're not a member of the proletariat when the plain fact is that you are is the path to bankruptcy and poverty.
