Re: What's the difference, to you, between comfortable and upper middle class?

(Anonymous) 2019-04-06 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
lol, I was talking about this to coworkers the other day. Here's how I'd split it:

Poverty - surviving, but routinely not enough money to cover your needs
Lower class - enough to cover your needs, but if you lose your job it is an immediate looming emergency, there's no room to spare
Lower middle class - if you lose your job it's not an immediate emergency you do need to find a job quick, you can scrape by for a few weeks until you do
Comfortable middle class - if you lose your job you can survive a while if you downsize or sell things you own, like 3-6 months or something, but you'd still be out looking for work with some level of concern
Upper middle class - if you lose your job you can downsize a lot and probably go for a year or more if you need to, but you do still have to find another job eventually, but with more leeway regarding time
Upper class - you've accumulated enough so that you don't technically *have* to find a job to survive

So basically, "how tied are you to your job?" Someone who has an upper middle class lifestyle with a big house and multiple cars who is $300k in debt and would be immediately bankrupt if fired is not upper-middle class, they're poor people pursuing an upper class lifestyle they can't securely afford. Meanwhile, someone who has a million dollars in rental real estate or long-term investments and never needs to work but lives like a middle class person is still technically upper class
