are you middle class or rich

[CHANEYLAKEGIRL]

I always thought we were middle class, but after reading the posts, I think we are upper middle class.

the lowest of low class I work in retail and unless your a manager you live paycheck to paycheck

I am not rich. I am not middle class. I have never been middle class. Technically, I am around the poverty line and it's horrible. I know people who are living on less than what I am, which would be pretty much nothing since I'm struggling to survive on next to nothing.

Well, technically, I make like absolutely nothing, but I don't work full time so that has something to do with it.  So I'm nowhere close to rich.  I think my family is middle class though but I don't really know since I never bothered asking about what my parents make.

I'm middle class economically, but rich when it comes to having lots of loved ones in my life...

I'm like you though... very happy taxes didn't go up!

Used to be middle class, but with the dollar not worth what it used to be, i would guess i am no longer in that category. If i didnt lose a third of my check to taxes, i would be middle class.

I used to think I was middle class, but when Romney was running, I was part of the 42 or 47% that was not working {I'm disabled} and he thinks I am a blight on America. I am not a blight, I just don't earn a lot of money...  AND don't blame it on Obama, if Romney ran, there would have a blight on the American people...

I consider myself middle class, I guess. Never really thought about it. I know I'm not poor, nor am I rich, but I consider myself rich because I have a wonderful family. Also, I always determine wealth based upon what you have achieved in your life and how much you are happy. I don't like to talk about money or class people based upon how much they have in dollar amounts, but I wouldn't mind being rich! Haha! 

LOVE this statement ... 

Aw.....thank you!

I would say we were low middle class, but as long as we have enough for bills, groceries, and the other necessities, I will be satisfied.  Yeh! taxes hurt and usually they cut into quite a bit of income, so I am happy they will stay the same for now.

middle class here not rich. Neither i am poor consider myself as working poor. Make less than 30,000 year.

I gues you would call us middle class, but we sure have to stretch our checks to make ends meet, and that is with hubby working part time at the schools as a sub teacher. We got a small raise in our ss. and then a larger raise on our medicare payments with less benifits, thanks to Obummercare.
I wish i could go back to work, but Dr.'s won't let me. But i am lucky that i know how to stretch a dime, and i can barter some things i make or sell to help out. Oh yeah i don't qualifiy for ssi at my age. Bummer.

Don't think that if you're a middle class, your taxes won't get raised. They will ! for one the payroll taxes expired and you will see it on your paycheck. Obama is a liar when it comes to middle class taxes.

At this point in my life, I would be happy with either. I am POOR!

I know I'm not anywhere near to being rich and I don't think I'm in the middle class since I make less than $10,000 a year. I work part-time as a courtesy clerk and I usually get 12hrs of work a week. Sometimes, 20hrs if I'm lucky. So, I look forward to doing my taxes because its the only time I get plenty of money to do whatever I want with it. I normally use it to do some mechanic work on my car and get stuff that I been putting off for the whole year because I never have the money to get it in the 1st place.
