Are you Lower, Middle or Upper Class?

Question

A lot of people call themselves "middle" class without real reason, on their quest for normality. However it would suprise these so called "middle" class members of society that they actually belong to the lower, working classes.

It's ironic, maybe, that I think I'm middle class.

What do you think you are- Lower, Middle or Upper Class?

Answer 1

According to the taxes I pay I'm middle class. 2D

Answer 2

I am a college student, so of course I'm lower class. Me and my fiance- lower class with upward mobility, my family lower class.

However, I attend college. My mom bought a new car. My fiance and I can pay our bills and the only debt we have is my student loans (acceptable) and we only just started out 6 months ago.

I think that the definition of working, lower, middle and upper class is warped, and people don't give the working and lower classes as much credit as is due to them. Just because they are member of this class does not mean that they are lazy, uneducated, a minority, addicts or anything else. It does mean that they have to work a little harder for what they want to catch up financially with others.

This isn't a bad question in my opinion, but one that should be answered, even if with opinions. Better this question then one about "What color should I dye my hair" or "What is the best fast food resturant".

Answer 3

I'm in middle class because my class isn't in a low state at it also isn't at a high state. Just think of this as beging on a airplane. Lower class, middle class, and upper class then you could determine what kind of class you are in. They are about the same meaning, lower class is the lowest, middle class is ok, and upper class is like above and beond and can afford lots of things

Answer 4

I think it depends on what state you live in also that determines whether you are middle class or not.
As for me I'm not middle class or upper middle class, I'm a struggling college student but my parents are middle class.
In my state the average median income is only $32,000. My parents make well above that. They make $75,000 a year combined. So here in my state our family would be considered middle class.
