I think "middle class" is annual income between $40K and $125K per individual. I want someone to tell me what middle class is. If you have a job, are you middle class now? If you have a college degree, are you upper class? And what the hell is rich? I think "rich" might start around annual income of at least $500K per year.

I don't know what middle class is. It's sounds like everybody I know wants to fit in the bracket even though they are a pay check away of brokeness. They live pay check to pay check.
Nobody wants to be called Low Class, Lower Class or No Class. Ask the bum on the street and he'll tell you he is Lower Middle Class.
Maybe they're afraid of what's coming to th..err us.

I don't care about Classes and I'm proud of it. In my life I've been able to have up to some $20K or have some material stuff, and at other times I've been completely broke. So who cares.
