I hate it when people bitch about the disappearing middle class bullshit. The middle-class hasn't disappeared, the definition of middle-class has changed. Ask yourself how many middle-class families had all the luxuries we all take for granted these days. People living in McMansions they can't afford, driving cars they shouldn't be driving, carrying around smart phones they don't need, wearing clothes they shouldn't be wearing all while they sit back and watch the news on their big screen television. Riiiight, the middle class is disappearing. NOT!

This is what got us into this mess. Demand caused prices to skyrocket as people felt they were entitled to live in $500K+ homes, drive $30K+ cars, carry around iPhones/BBs and wear designer clothes. Everyone likes the nice things in life but live within your means.

The mortgage crisis was a great thing, a great thing! It was a wake up call and it brought homes back to where they should have been. People bitch and whine about the economy but guess what? I make more money now then I have ever made in my entire life. And no I am not blowing it on stupid shit. You heard it hear first!

who really wrote that?

I did. It's nothing new. Search some of my old posts on CLSB.

ill pass. lol

I blame Obama.

I do as well.

You are very much in the minority. Most people's income has dropped with increased expenses. I don't know if I'd say the middle class is disappearing, but that is where all this hits. Wealthy people will always be wealthy, and poor will always be poor. The people in the middle is where there is ebb and flow.

Poor people need to make more money and spend less. If an ignorant man from a third world country like me can do it, anyone can.

Mao hates black people.

I hate everyone.

people don't understand until they have gone without

Sometimes too much is not enough.

The gap between too much and enough never closes.

The middle class, is not disappearing.

The GAP between them and the lower class is just getting smaller as the Gap between them and the upper class gets larger.


BTW, slavery hasnt disappeared yet either, despite all the perceptions to the contrary.

Now you are getting clever with semantics.

Too much is just perfect for me.

Can someone define to me what middle class and the middle class lifestyle s these days? I am curious to see what other people considered middle class.

I am middle class

No. You are white trash.

That is the question. Most people consider it everybody that isn't filthy stupid rich or broke ass eating dirt living on the streets poor. Basically everybody.
