    Middle class; I feel very lucky. I'm not sure that "rich" and "poor" are really good ways of describing classes, more like "lower/working class" and "upper class".

    I say that because you can be rich and still working class, because it isn't just economic but SOCIO-economic. Class is about the wealth of your up-bringing, not your wealth as an adult.

      You can still change your social status. It is not static.

      Most people using this site are too young to have had an opportunity to change it from the one they were raised in though. And it's rare for people to break free of those bonds.

        I'm not sure if you always can, though. There are people from working class backgrounds who have made many millions, have mansions all over the world and dozens of cars who still consider themselves working class. I think social status is pretty much static, and can only change between generations.

          Well of course there are plenty of examples of people who have not changed their status (rappers and pop stars are a good example). I mean it is nicer to be the big fish in a little pond, isn't it.

          But you can marry into a different status or you can change it through your ascribed status as an adult, if your career takes you there. There are ways out, but they are not as available as our culture leads us to believe. Like, in the States, most people are under the impression that they can become anything they want to be in life. While it seems like it is true, it's really not.

            Education and therefore careers are certainly blurring the boundaries between the classes and it is not necessarily how you perceive your class to be but rather how others perceive you.

            I can say that I honestly don't know.

            My father was in the Navy and my mother had 5 kids with a mortgage to pay. We all went to grammar schools and got degrees with honours. I live in a socio-economic area rated A with surgeons, professors, etc and I am a stay at home mom who tutors part time. I have no mortgage and have enough savings to put my son through his education. My husband is a self-employed tradesman.

            Perhaps we are upper working class or lower working class.

            Any ideas?

        Because I have the ability to type and an opinion. There are no other requirements.

    I would consider myself working class - but no amount of money will ever make me happy if I don't have my family.

    I dunno, there are different classes within classes. Like most of my friends would be upper-middle class but I'm more lower middle class.

    I'm rich by different standards. And I don't mean lame things like 'love' or anything like that. Tangiblle things. Net worth, etc....Not so much cash...although I am good at acquiring cash, and have more than a lot of people I associate with.

    Family- upper middle maybe rich.
    Me-poor with dreams.
    I just don't want struggle anymore. Not be famous, but to be prepared for retirement and live comfortably

    I'm not really poor and I'm a little above working class, but I'm certainly not as rich as a lot of my middle class peers.

    So somewhere between middle and working.

    I still live with my parents and they both got a good job. We're not exactly rich, but still nothing to complain.

    I'm inbetween poor and middle class. I mean, I got a job so I'm not down to a minimum income. But my job doesn't pay that well. It's enough to stay alive, but no more than that.

    I've got a roof over my head, food on the table, clean water, electricity, television, a phone and the internet. So I don't consider myself poor.

    I wouldn't say I'm economically 'middle-class' by my country's standards though.

    Also, the whole 3-class-distinction is pretty primitive. I think the socio-economic hierarchy is far more complex than that.

    The class that can't be on welfare but has to pay taxes for welfare bums, is that considered middle class or lower/working class.

    I'm not really sure. I've never really cared.
