[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People here are conflating class, as defined in the US which is purely statistical, with lifestyle...a common DCUM mistake. Everyone here seems to want to define all but the top 5% as middle class...which simply isn't the reality. What the fact that anyone but the top 5% feels like they are being pinched indicates is that there is massive income and wealth inequality in this country, and some areas are nearly unaffordable for all but the very well-off. DH and I are rich by any possible measure (mid-to-high six figure HHI), but we don't live like Bill Gates for sure. But I don't run around calling myself MC either, because it would make me look like an idiot.[/quote] Very few people live like Bill Gates. If he is our measurement of wealthy we are all screwed.[/quote]
