[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who don't understand that class in the US is more than just money need to take a sociology 101 class. [/quote]

People who don't understand that there are variations and nunances of the word "class" need to take a Semantics 101 "class."[/quote]

But that's the thing - there isn't a variation - you are just wrong. You are talking about income and/or wealth. We are talking about class. OP's original question is how does she know if she is middle class, not how does she know if she is rich or poor. There is a huge distinction that you are refusing to acknowledge. [/quote]

I seriously wonder if there's some cultural mis-translation going on. There's "class" and there's "Class." Yes, OP should have clarified, but when I think "lower/middle/upper" class, I most definitely think of income and/or wealth. I understand you think differently, but there are multiple definitions of the term. I didn't grow up thinking about the social stuff loaded into "class," though I understand that for some, there are distinctions. Perhaps you grew up focusing more on those distinctions? Money however, is generally the great equalizer, and that definition of "class" is a much more contemporary classification, imho.[/quote]
