[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is definitely that DCUM peculiarity (i.e., greed) that leads people to believe that knowing anyone who makes more than them automatically makes them middle class. Unfortunately, that's not how a reality-based world works. Oprah doesn't become middle class when she steps into an elevator with Bill Gates, and your 300/500/700k HHI doesn't become middle class (or the pseudo-humble "upper" middle class) simply because you aren't the richest person in your neighborhood. You're just being greedy.[/quote] Nope. These posters think they are middle class bevause they are living an entirely middle class lifestyle. They live in a middle classs style house, drive average cars and spend most of their money on fixed expenses such as housing and student loans. The only luxury they may have is living in a middle class style house closer to DC with a shorter commute. [/quote]
