Yeah, no. If you're sweating $100, you're not middle class. You're working class and you *think* you're middle class.

You're just not bottom rung poverty levels of working class. You're what I refer to as "upper" lower class.

Middle class people own their own homes in nice suburbs, and go to Mexico once a year. They have investments, assets, and don't have an assload of debt to prop up the appearance of reasonable success.
