if you have a smartphone and meat on the table every night you're middle class

Upper class = doesn't buy fake cola/items from LIDL and owns a non chink smartphone

Most "fake" products are on the same lvl as the original. Most of the time they get produced by the same company at least that's the case where I live.

Low middle class is just working class though. Genuine middle class starts around 110k in high col areas, 80k in low col (except oil workers are still working class).

I make 19k but have a 60k muscle car and a galaxy s8+

just go into debt, who cares.

Using statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics kek.

The median household income for the USA is about $45,000. If your household is around there, congrats you're in the fucking middle.

150 years ago the average adjusted household income in America was just about a dollar a day.

We're on the tail end of the biggest boom in human history. It now falls to us to keep it all from draining away to a dozen feudal lords. Or to pledge fealty to those feudal lords, that's an option too.

it makes up for some of it, but not all.
At the margin, Burgers are better off (especially the rich). However, they face more uncertainty.

In my county, 35K is suicide tier and would barely cover rent.

to clarify, two people each making $100,000 per year might be in totally different classes if one of them has a $100k salary and the other makes $100k off of dividends
