Of course. I'm not saying a simplified model that groups into socio-economic class is the end-all-be-all of measuring privilege. (My first comment said quite the opposite). This borders on bad-faith interpretation.
You claimed class is a misstep in logic. But classification is how we make sense of the world. Case and point: you just classified into "lonely" and "not lonely". Those are two classifications (ie classes) of social orientation. I get that "class" and 'privilege' are loaded words in todays parlance, but it's really just grouping individuals who are alike in some feature. What you seem to be saying is that the term 'wealth' isn't a useful classification feature, not that classification isn't useful.
So back to my original ask to the OP, I said wealth doesn't seem to be the most useful feature and I was asking them what they thought was the best classification scheme.
