Today, a guy who works shift work was bragging to me about making $29 an hour. He very proudly and arrogantly claimed that he was middle class.I told him that $29 an hour isn’t really a middle class income on its own. He then mentioned that his wife also works and I said,”ohh so you need dual income.” I asked how much she made, and he said about $45,000.I did the math and pointed out that his $29 per hour wage works out to roughly $60,000 a year before tax. Combined with his wife’s income, their household brings in about $105,000 a year before tax. After taxes, their take home pay is probably somewhere around $80,000 a year. (lol)I told him that, based on those numbers, I wouldn’t consider them middle class. He seemed to think that making $29 an hour automatically put him solidly in the middle class, but when you actually look at the household income and take home pay, it’s a lot more modest than he was making it sound. ($80k a year total household income)I also mentioned to him studies show every class thinks they are middle class.
This never happened and OP is a faggot.
>>62310868It happened lol. Don’t underestimate how ignorant the actual person is. Someone else also barged into the conversation and accused me of being wrong and $60k is middle class and “do you even know economics.”
>>62310862I'm lower loser class wagie but wealthy.
>>62310862I can see 4% moved from middle class to lower class and 7% moved from middle class to upper class.Only the 4% going back is bad.
This thread. Yet again. Different day same dogshit OP. Consider suicide
>>62310862This happened to me a an electrician while I'm making $68.50 an hour. >Holy fuck dude you you make way more than us(there were 2 of them)>Tell him there wasn't a second talking to him where I thought he made more than me>Tells me he thought he made the most in the room( there were dudes that make a little more than me there)
>>62311102n-no Anon, you got memed by entering the trades, you are POOR AND MISERABLE o-okay?
>>62311102Blue collar loser. >>62311302Trades are for low iq people.
>>62311096I have these conversations everyday.
>>62310862things that didn't happenI was talking to a friend the other day though and he told me he was making $45 per hour and was super excited about it. I congratulated him on that.He offered me a job for $25 an hour. I thanked him and told him I'm already busy doing other stuff. He didn't know I employ people at my company that make more than he does.it's cute when people are proud of their income. There's always someone out there that makes more.
>>62310862Real middle class is being able to live comfortably from capital income.The reason the real definition is suppressed is to make wagies feel better and reduce social discontent.
Ah yes, the Indian trust fund guy that spergs out at people. Back for another thread full of replies telling you to stop annoying random people by asking how much they make then calling them poorfags?
>>62311550it's a roll call threadget a head count and see who all is here todaythe polite thing to do is check in. OP is a faggot but that's always the case.
>>62311532Just have a top 10% or above income and you’re good.
>>62311695thanks for that stunning advice.I assume you got laughed out of every other forum and ended up here blessing us with your obviously rich man knowledge.
I make $18 an hour n Los Angeles caring for a “veteran”. I’m capped off at 30 hours a week. Anything over and I’ll receive a phone call at a random time in the future asking me if I can clock out on time.
>>62311527You do seem to enjoy repeating topics day in and day out.
>>62311763I always wonder how people manage to survive in LA on a regular wage
