Re: What class are you?

Well i am not watching the show but i would have to say middle class. I am not poor and i am not rich so middle class just seems to fit

Re: What class are you?

I don't know what is considered rich? I feel middle class.

Re: What class are you?

well read that if you make $150,000 you are still middle class. But i would consider that upper class. So i dont know.

Re: What class are you?

I am middle class according to the chart which is what I would have put myself in also. I just feel stuck in the middle.

I would say though never judge a book by its cover I think that just shows alot about those people who were like well I act this way & I am well to do next week they will probably be on the debt diet show!!!

I Know so many people who act rich & dont have 2 pennies to rub together & lots of people you would think are poor who sit on gold mines!!

Re: What class are you?

so what if you make $100,000/yr but you live off of $25,000 and save and invest the rest? ANd you also have about 300k in savings. Are you lower or upper class?

wow i am WAY too into this!

Re: What class are you?

Sorry Ima I did not see this post I just finished watching Oprah and I think I classify people by appearance, conversation, and many other factors. You know it never really dawned on me that I was actually doing so

Re: What class are you?

That link to the Oprah site doesn't say anything about family size. According to that, I am upperclass, but there are 4 in my family. I would consider our family to be somewhere between middleclass and upper middle class. I love to thrift shop and save money on MOST things with little extravagances here and there.

Re: What class are you?

If you go by my boyfriend's and my combined income, we are in the middle of middle class. Individually, we are both on the cusp of low/middle class. But, we are both 22, and neither of us is in our desired job right now -- he is currently a PhD grad student and I am a preschool teacher about to go back to graduate school. When we are both done with grad school, and working real jobs, our combined income will put us well into the "upper class" bracket. (according to Oprah's figures).

Re: What class are you?

I like thrifty ray's answer. I am content with what I have too. I am considered middle class although when I go to parties with all these upper class people, I feel pretty poor!

Re: What class are you?

We are a couple thousand into middle class (as in if DH didn't work overtime, like he isn't this year...)

But we live around middle middle 9heh) and upper middle, guess we just pay too much for our house..

Re: What class are you?

Having a house early and paying it off early helped me go from lower class to middle class.
