How do I know what "class" in society I belong to?

Question

I'm not dirt poor, but I sure as hell am not rich...so am I like lower middle class...or upper lower class?Hmmm...

Its not that I care...its just that I was reading some statistics & they were like..."well 79% of middle class citizens own homes" or something like that.

Answer 1

Just think of yourself as middle class. That's what most people do. Class isn't important in America anyway.

Answer 2

Born in the US, I never think much about it. My family are pretty well off, so I suppose that makes them upper class. I guess you'd call them all city mice, while I, on the other hand, am a country mouse. I have nothing to complain about and every one of my needs are being met. In the US of course most of the poor or lower class are filthy rich compared to countless unfortunate people around the world.

Answer 3

Hard to tell without details.

For a little perspective, even the poor in America today live vastly richer lives than 99% of the people who ever lived.

Answer 4

If you learn about life and the world, you'll soon stop wondering about "class" in financial terms. Your class will be what your experience and knowledge are worth. If you learn to be good, then your class would be unique.

Answer 5

The class system used to be based on your fathers occupation;
If he was a bricklayer - your working class.
If he was a lawyer - your middle class.
If he has a title - your upper class.

Now dude,if you get out of bed in the morning to go work! you are working class.

Answer 6

If you work,then you are the working class.To me that means you work for what is yours and need no hand outs.I am one and will probably live the rest of my life being one...Good for me.

Answer 7

middle class...but who cares. why does it matter? don't label yourself.

Answer 8

Why do you care?
