What class are you??!?!
It's nothing to do with living in a "classless" society, it's about your upbringing.

I'm a stripper, but I make six figures. So what class does that make me? I grew up middle upper class.
I mostly hovered near the lower middle class. As a blue collar worker, my dad had job security. He worked the 7am shift to be with us in the evenings. We were fortunate to have land so we grew a lot of the food we ate and I never noticed that we didn't have money. My neighborhood was very mixed with multimillion dollar homes nestled next to the small homes with rotting walls.
Now I am still in that lower middle but have a white collar job. I don't take the upper class seriously, never have. Their idea of society is so detached from the real world. I don't think they know what it means to be truly happy. People with money have far more to lose when the bottom falls out- or in our case- the middle.
All I know is that I would rather be on the bottom when the whole pyramid collapses.
The results seem to be a somewhat accurate description of our population
I consider myself lower middle class - life as a bank worker isn't grand as one thinks. Good job - stable income.
To be honest - I'm just glad to have shelter and food on the table - we shouldn't take these for grant considering homelessness is becoming a reality for many families today.
I agree it's about upbringing too. Externally, I'm a chameleon. I know enough about etiquette to be semi-comfortable in the lower reaches of the upper class. I go to work in a suit, live in a converted church and shop where things cost a bit more, so could easily be seen as middle class. However, I know where I come from and what I always will be. I am working class because I grew up working class. I like working class things and working class people. It's the only place my guard goes down, because a working class environment is what I naturally know. I used to know a family who were seriously priveleged (almost so posh that you struggled to understand them). They always referred to be as the axe murderer (because I have a distinct regional accent associated with the inner city, and I liked them enough to use my natural accent). You can fool some of the people some of the time...
Too many middle class.
They clog the roads with their stupid little cars. They drive up the cost of everything. Staffing even a middle-size mansion is ridiculously expensive.
If only Bush had served a third term; we would have finally eradicated these pests.

That any class system exists: sucks!
But there is not a country in the world that it does not exist in.
In Canada, I have spent my 35 years like this:
1-9 yrs: Lower (Working-Poor)
9-14 yrs: Working
14-17 yrs: Average-Middle
17-30 yrs: Lower (Working-Poor)
30-33 yrs: Working
33-35 yrs: Low-Upper
I feel that class is something that is and should always be defined by people's view of you - it's very much like asking 'how good looking are you?'. You cannot accurately answer that question yourself as the way you give the answer will affect the perception of you! I will always say I'm middle class as I like good food, own property, have a business and refuse to work nightshifts in factories....but that answer itself, if given to somebody who is working class will be perceived differently if given to somebody that is of the upper class.
At the end of the day, you are who you are and your class status is more to do with the way you make your way through life rather than the things you acquire along the way... be nice to people, appreciate what you have and remember that everything can change in an instant!
Anyone who goes by that style of life have missed the whole point of life.
You see life as a journey with a serious meaning at an end may it be success or maybe heaven after your dead.....but we missed the whole point along the way it was a musical thing and we were suppost to sing or dance.
