if you have the resources to cover all of your needs and some of your wants, plus the ability to save for the future, then you are in middle class, i.e you are neither rich nor poor.

Middle class isn't just about income and spending. Health, education, home ownership, political freedom, security -- are directly linked to the strength of the middle class.

You are also automatically in middle class by virtue of your profession (academic, accountant, lawyer, engineer, politician and doctor etc).

I once said!!!!

What do you call the class of young men that are living off their mom's money and "managing" (stealing) mom's real estate, collecting dad's rents, pretending to be rich, always in upscale clubs, restaurants and bars showing off, having people fetch faggis for them, talking big, drinking Heinekin and Johnny Mtembezi, driving older Mercedes or tricked-out Mitsubishis with the stereo way too loud, always bragging about the "mitas" that they have invested in the NSE or real estate, starting businesses that they cannot or don't know how to run, always making excuses for what they actually "do", that refuse to finish university and refuse to take on a steady job (even though their family practically GIVES them jobs and school fees), that you haven't seen in two weeks because they "have been in Dubai or Guangzao" and must have the latest, greatest phone?

...And are always hitting their siblings or in-laws up for KsH for the latest, greatest "investment opportunity".

Being middle class is relative to the standard of living one attains rather than salary etal. I would consider any one who affords to have decent basic needs and/ without comforts to be middle class.

where do people who earns 100k a month lives?
