Anyone living from paycheck to paycheck is not truly middle class.

Middle class is not just about money. It's more about values,
managing what you have, and saving/investing for the future.

Most people, the vast majority of people who live paycheck to paycheck
are absolutely middle class no matter what "your" definition might be.

Your "values" seem to be you've got yours, so screw everyone else.
Most people who consider themselves middle class manage what they have
and try an invest in the future. These days many of them don't succeed
and are being throw under the bus by the right wing.
