Yep. Middle class people don't really get all the ways that being poor is a detriment. You often don't have credit, and you may not have a bank account, so you get paid in cash, or at the last minute by check, forcing you to use a check cashing store, which will rape you on unnecessary fees, siphoning any cash you might have saved, keeping you poor.
