Which class are you?

[ItsDave]

Working Middle Class, it was a mediocre life. Lol

[N!ck]

From money and possesions etc. Working class.

From education and values middle class?

Oo, if wikipedia is correct, and that's debateable People are getting muddled up with the US class system! Upper Class for the UK are people born into it, with a title of nobility while the other titles look to be more about money and qualifications, though mainly focused on money from what can be perceived.

You don't have to be posh to be privileged!

About 20 years ago, my mum lived in a flat with 3 children. Very very poor then still are tbh.

Anyway 20 years on, now in a 3 bed room rented house, which is completely ****.

Housing Association is a complete joke, probably one of the worst in the UK. A lot of maintenance work needs to be done to the house and there is parts that after years of complaing about, is still isn't done. (This is what you have to put up with when you can't get out of a situation as bad as this)

Both of my brothers have their own house, (Paying mortgages) one of my brother's has a gf and she's paying half. Other brother is about to rent out his house and move back in with us.

Both working class, one is a Policeman and the other one is a Marketing sales manager. (Both struggle to pay Mortgages)

Mum works full time, no degrees, i don't think. Due to my Mum's bad upbring with her mum.

But ye, it would be nice to go out and buy what you like but i suppose life won't be like this for ever. If you want something, if you put your mind to it, you can achieve it.

I shouldn't be complaining anyway, i have a roof over my head, if i don't have enough food, at least I've had something.. compare to me and people in countries like Africa i'm like completely upper class. :L

Sorry for the longgggg life story.

I'm somewhere between working class and middle class. I don't get any ema at all but my mum & stepdads jobs are barely enough to pay the bills and buy the food, by the time it comes to anything like christmas or birthdays i get limited to about £50 unless I chip in myself. They've never had enough money to help me out financially (driving lessons, money for going out, pocket money when I was younger etc) but we've never been on benefits or anything, its some sort of horrible line where I can't really complain about being poor but we don't have any money

That said, before my parents split up we had a pretty big 4 bedroomed house that we bought when the housing market was at its lowest (it was about 50k I think!) and over the years they decorated it and made it really nice and it was worth about 200k when my dad eventually sold it after they split up. I grew up there and we easily had enough money for anything we wanted so I kind of still have that sort of middle class mindset and attiitudes (being well spoken, not drinking heavily all the time etc) so yeah, guess I'm living in the past a bit

Isn't class 'officially' described as your parents job? Even though there's loads of arguments about it, shouldn't we just stick to the official thing?

When you do sociology, you realise that class already does cause divides, alkaz. They just aren't as clear as they used to be...

Working class for me.

Yeah same in psychology.

That's what I was saying .

my parents make a combined £100k+/yr. yet we don't have a massive house, but my dad does have a subaru. does that make me upper or middle.

oh my mum went to university, my dad couldn't however.

[Amberr]

middle class i wud say

[Immenseman]

i don't really think anyone on the forum is upper class unless you're like royalty or random titles from your parents like duke/sir whatever else there is.

I know that, thats why I said, 100 years ago, even 50 years ago they were still there pretty strong, now the have kinda faded out but now the media and attention on money and labels is bringing that back strong and fast. It's easy to see, if you do sociology or not.
