king-emare:stand-up-gifs:A lot of people in the replies to this seemingly have no idea what “class” is.It’s not a set of values or something you automatically earn after college or like some mysterious inherent quality your parents pass down to you. (Like, maybe your parents have enough money/assets where they can sustain you through economic insecurity, but let’s be honest…that’s not most people’s situation.)If you are struggling with bills, if you don’t have savings, if you constantly question even small purchases, if spending a few thousand dollars on a vacation seems like a distant dream…you are not middle class.And most importantly, saying you are not middle class is not an attack on your character. Instead it’s a reminder to fight for your own economic interests, and not to let companies, your boss, or politicians trick you into working against yourself by believing you’re part of the “mythical middle.”Damn -- source link
