Are you low class if you have a small house?

Answer 1

What constitute a low class? I don't believe in having 'classes'. The problem in the modern society is that we judge one with accordance to what one possess, the bigger the house, the bigger the car, the higher is one's class. Or so it seems.

One may live in a small house even though he/she can afford a mansion as he/she does not want to think about big loans and etc. Even if one chooses to live as that's what he is able to afford, then I don't see any problem with that.

So, if one chooses to live in a small house, I don't think he is of a lower class or anything inferior than the rest.

Answer 2

Are you high class, just because you have a big house? I think not, so the reverse must not be true also.

If you have a small house, with a yard that looks like there should be a "yard sale" sign up, but you are not having a yard sale, if you have more dogs than names for them, if the small house is leaned up against a tree for support, THEN you might be low class.

However, I have to assume you are talking about "socio-economic class", not so much "refinement - manners" type of class. Even then, I know many people who live in smaller houses than they could afford, just because they like to use their money for other things - vacations, family time with the kids, boats, motorcycles etc. and, I know people who are broke as hell just trying to make the house payment on a big house, and never get to have any fun with their hard-earned money. SO, this socio-economic aspect is a matter of prespective and priorities.

Answer 3

why would it make you low class to have a small house? Maybe you are single or just starting out and buy a house that fits your needs. Even people that can't afford a larger house, that doesn't make them low class, it makes them living within their means. Low class is a term I generally apply to peoples actions and living style. Not because of money, but because of choices they make.

Answer 5

There are multiple definitions of class. One of them involves economics, in which case having a smaller house might mean you are in the lower class of the economy. Another definition involves a rating based on grade or quality, while another definition talks about class being the best of its kind. Neither of these last two definitions involve the size of someone's house.

Assuming you are talking about how we often refer to "trailer trash" as "low class," I have met low class people from small houses, big houses and all sizes in between. House sizes have nothing to do with it. It's all about the people inside.

Answer 6

Definitely NO.. its a matter of your choice and preference. just like me, i earn enough to save and make a big house but i prefer a small one and that doesn't mean I'm a low class because it's my choice- simple one.

Answer 7

No. you're low class if you have some big tacky, flashy mcMansion.

there are many reasons for having a small house: a love for a certain type of architecture, minimalism, simplicity, practicality, environmentalism, thriftiness, prioritising other expenditures such a travel, charity, hobbies....

Answer 8

No. If there are only two people living in home there is no need to own a four bedroom house with 2 bathrooms. More people should live within their means.

Answer 9

Not necessarily, I always kind of figured if I won a decent amount of money I would buy a little two story house (I'm talking little though) and just get a bunch of expensive cars, practicality is not what I go for.

Answer 10

You could but a wacking big house in rural parts of the UK for about £500,000 but that would only get you a tiny flat in some areas of London, so the answer is no.
