[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many posts about the income or wealth levels associated with being middle class. Setting aside dollar amount, what does MC mean to you. For me: Owning a home by your 30s, not necessarily at detached SFM [b]Can easily afford food, clothing, and utilities[/b] Can afford a vehicle Can retire someday [/quote] I don’t know what you mean by “easily” but my experience with growing up middle class was that this wasn’t “easy.” It involved checking multiple circulars and generally shopping very carefully. And of course you have the trope of the classic MC dad yelling about lights on and high utility bills. The classic middle class family can afford it all, sure. But it’s a source of stress. I now think of myself at well-off exaclty because this is all “easy” now. [/quote]
