WoodenFruit Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Upper class, I live in a fairly large house on the outskirts of Cardiff (Capital of Wales), and go on a couple of holidays a year. Doesn't mean im spoiled though. I'm glad I don't live on a council estate where majority of the chavs in my school live, I probably would be hospitalised a number of times :P (I'm not being horrible to people living in council estates) ______________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baalboy5 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well we were lower class when my home caught on fire, this is when my dad was just a banker. When we re-worked our home(we did a majority of it manually, to not look spoiled to everyone reading this) My dad got a promotion. Which made us middle class(we could afford better things, central air, a reworked bedroom, computers, xbox and such). Now my dad a manager of a bank and my brother has a job for comcast and my sister has 2 jobs, we are fairly above the line of middle class. As every sunday we have a nice dinner(monday-thursday stuff like beef or salad ect...) and we own a summer house now. But of course, some of our extra cash came from a lawsuit agianst septa would crashed into my mom causing external back problems. :| Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob. People in OT eat glass when they are bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an only child I'd say I'm spoiled as hell. According to me anybody who can afford 4 cars isn't just middling.

Sumpta Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well, pedantic as I am, I would like to point out that classes aren't just about having money. There are other factors, such as education, language/culture, status, family background etc to define social classes. It's possible to belong to empoverished royalty and still be considered upper class, just as it's possible to own 10 houses and still be considered a peasant. I'd say I belong to the middle class. Money: my mother raised me and my brother on a single salary (hers), while paying off the mortgage on the house and wishing for us to study, so she was very careful. We never lacked anything though, and she seems to have good savings now that we're all grown up. We all own a house, or are paying it off. Education: we all attended university, even my mother (she was born in the fourties, and the first girl of her village to attend university - she had to work her way through it). Language/culture: our language is different from the language of the working/middle class, and we're regularly seen as upper class (or snobbish, depending on the person identifying us) intellectuals for it. Social status: we're all civil servants or something like that (not much status there), and aren't interested in status symbols such as expensive cars or expensive clothing. We "get" our social status from education/culture and the number of books that we own :D. Family background: thoroughly middle class, my one grandfather was the town's school teacher in a time when status-wise, that was roughly in the same league as the mayor, the doctor and the attorney; and my other grandfather was the richest farmer of the village.
