Low class, Middle class and High class

[jaye614]

What demands what class you are in???

I was watching a political townhall meeting and someone asked the candidate to define "middle class"

He said it depends on the area of the country, but middle class typically ran around $80-$100K. I know where I am NOT!

Personally, I think "class" is a state of mind and spirit!! I know plenty of wealthy people with who are rude, self-important and narrow-minded!! But, even more financially less fortunate people with integrity, refinement, humility and hearts of gold!!!

But seriously, I had heard somewhere that the majority of Americans actually live "below the poverty line". There is something seriously wrong, if that's the case!!

Amen to that!! Working in a casino, I deal with wealthy and not-so-wealthy people all the time. And I must say, some rich people are some of the most obnoxious, rude, unhappy and impatient people I've ever met. If being rich meant being like them, I'd rather stay where I am.

Money wise I am low clas but class wise as far as the way I act and conduct myself around others I am a HIGH CLASS gal.

I determine my class this year on two things:

Can I make three out of four grumpy people smile when I meet them;

And what does my Mastercard bill look like the month after an Orlando trip.

Works every time.

I guess it depends on two things: your total income and your cost of living. If the 80-100K income is the definition of middle class, then my family isn't even close. But, we live in East Tennessee where cost of living is quite low, comparatively. We define ourselves as solidly middle class.

So is low-class considered working class?
