Are you Middle Class?

[No1]

what the average person does doesnt matter to me.

The average person is also fat...why?

We have way more opportunity than our parents.
Its about mindset and how big you think.

. I’m aware that you’re one of those “it’s all on you” and there aren’t any real obstacles right wing people. So there’s no point here lol.

Jobless but with enough money not to work? Sounds like a W.

sounds like a made in ann arbor win to me. y'all might suck at football, but most importantly that degree still top notch.

Im not a "right wing person".

Im actually trying to have a convo...I think this is a block with a lot of people.

Biggest thing I see with people is having kids too early.

data shows otherwise why even argue

Idk why the coli shyts on nursing when they can make very good money.

Social conditioning... specifically gender roles.

data says what?
The average person is not a good measure on what is possible out here.

to my point earlier...the average person is fat...does that mean its not possible to be a healthy weight?

lack of social mobility...

 

[jilla82]

social mobility...

all of that depends on what youre trying to do.

are we talking dead end jobs?
Glass ceiling?
debt?
lack of entrepreneurship?

Data shows that the current generation is taking less risk when it comes to business (less entrepreneurs)...
...which is crazy because its never been easier to start a business with no money.

faulty logic /

It says Upper for me. I wouldn't consider myself upper, but I don't struggle to do or buy things in life. I live within my means.

This research is confusing Middle Class with Working Class.

There's a difference.

upper income tier

Aight I'm willing to admit I was being naïve back in the day.

We have to evolve from the notion that income = middle class.


When the real predictor is assets, that's what the true emphasis should be.



You can work as hard as you want, but you can't keep up with money that's generated passively.

I always like these, the NY Times did one I posted on here a year or so back. Upper in San Diego, also single, no kids, so the money goes way further. The closer socially and economically you get to the gilded tiers, you realize what's real money and what isn't, which is a frustrating place to exist in.

I once asked someone how much this piece of art was on their wall, I thought like 20k, shyt was 200k. And THATS entry level.

The truth is there is cultural capital, education level, income level, that all plays into class.

I can value/wealth/class signal pretty well from Southern California, in San Diego, this girl asked me if I was born into a wealthy family the other day but get me in those blue blood circles in DC, NY, and I'll give myself away in a second.

and where did you go, dear, St. Pauls, or were you at Dalton

My first time in NYC, was 22, my boy and I fly out, spend a week with my homie. We are like two hillbillies, never been to NY. Spend a week in Manhattan, and it's like a blur of excitement. My homie who lived there, went to USC, so he made connections. Once he doesn't invite us to have dinner with this family, and his friend from school, on the Upper East Side, he just says go somewhere and eat, and my boy and I are kinda talking shyt, like "oh we can't come?"

Now, I understand why. We would have felt embarrassed. Everyone would have felt awkward, we just weren't ready for that level.

Note: read Thomas Picketty's capital in 2014, and I took notes, the pace of wage increase, and the pace of stock/asset/real estate increase will never catch up, there is essentially no way to "outwork" the truly wealthy. But, if you don't try, you just sink quicker.
