A second home... one of which is a gas hog. Wow... where I

they're lucky they can make the mortgage payments.

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.

More socialist BS from my favorite parrot. Please define middle
class
for us. Hint: Aspiring to middle class does not count.

How about you get off your high horse. It doesn't become you. How
about those falling out of their homes? How about those people who
now
have to choose between paying their bills, buying their meds, or
feeding their children. You don't really care do you.

Anyone with a net worth of zero or some negative number might be the
salt of the earth but they are clearly not middle class unless you
want to call your Mexican landscaper middle class.

In reality he probably does have a positive net worth on his $12 an
hour salary. Anglos should learn something from our latino
residents.

Maybe that is the problem. We have decided people's wealth is
measured
by their credit line and not what they actually own. You brag about
how much money you make, are you saying you can't afford 2
refrigerators? Weren't you talking about buying a quarter of a
million
dollar boat a while ago?

That guy you are argueing with whines like a girl. I've noticed a few
other posters here, with similar traits.
