As the world enters the 10th year of economic growth, the American middle class is shrinking, stagnating, and becoming less secure. This comes as somewhat paradoxical since most Americans consider themselves to be middle-class. In a Pew survey, only 10 percent of Americans revealed that they consider themselves lower-class and a single 1 percent thought they were upper-class.
So all the economics, politics and whatnot aside, we are about to make a simple test to determine if you indeed belong to the somewhat sought-after middle class. Take your payslips back to the drawer, ‘cause we are about to scroll through the collection of memes that poke fun at middle-class households and people living in them.
Some people cringe and laugh, while others may feel personally attacked, or even insulted, so hey, it’s not me, it’s you who said they wanted to participate in a middle-class party! Thanks to the widely popular ‘Middle Class Fancy’ Instagram account which has 2.4M followers, there’s a lot of good ones to keep us entertained. Psst! More hilarious middle-class memes await in our previous post.

Load More Replies...Experts and country representatives gathered for the World Economic Forum in 2017 to discuss the middle-class crisis. There are many reasons for the narrowing middle class in the world economy. Harvard professor Lawrence Summers explained that governments are focusing their attention on the poorer segments of the population, including immigrants.
As a result, the middle classes are feeling disenfranchised because they have a sense that the government is simply not looking out for them. “It’s a mistake not to recognize that the middle class in my country and in others is also concerned that the government isn’t fighting for it,” he adds. It may also have to do with the driving populism that’s been seen across developed countries in recent years.

Load More Replies...Companies should be paying a living wage to anyone working anyway. We all have to eat, drink, and rest to literally get up and carry on for the rest of our lives. Why anyone would be denied enough money to literally stay alive and have the things they need to exist is just inhumane and wrong. And if anyone thinks people don't deserve enough money to at the very least maintain themselves on this Earth. Than your stance is, you want people to be homeless, hungry, struggling and going without things we all need to get through our lives. How can anyone possibly be against their own kind earning enough to exist and be okay? We all have to eat and live damn it! You gotta be an evil individual to think another person shouldn't have what they need to carry on living.
What About Shiny Rocks?
To be fair I try and ruin essential oils for everyone I possibly can.
I believe in essential oils, meaning that I believe they exist... But I also believe in the power of aromatherapy to help soothe headaches, sinus congestion, and anxiety, and as insect repellents. I do NOT however believe that essential oils have the power to actually cure any real problems. Sometimes you need a placebo though
Load More Replies...While it most certainly does not cure cancer, it can be helpful. Eucalyptus to clear a clogged nose, peppermint for mild headaches. Add both to a bit of aloe vera gel to rub it on your chest for colds. (Works like vaporub). It can have a relaxing effect (make sure you aren't allergic though! I'm super sensitive to lavender) and a nicely smelling room can always lift your mood. I have a very hard time during the winter and have found that citrus scents help a lot.
Agreed. Lavender/Frankincense oil on a felt pad and tucked in a plush animal has a calming effect for my children (their rooms smell similar and that's a safe place for them, I assume that's why it works) and peppermint is good for keeping away pests like ants and fleas.
Load More Replies...We taught our son that Santa is the spirit of the season, but not that he's a real person. Finding out the truth traumatized me (I found out really late compared to other kids) and I don't want to set me son up for the same thing.
Hmmm, curious. I had a look and found this: "The term essential oil dates all the way back to the days of the middle ages where Alchemists searched for what could be known as the fifth element beyond water, fire, air, and earth. Through distillation, came the discovery of essential oils as we know them today. However, during these times, anything that produced a liquid that didn’t mix with water was classified as an oil. Thus, when essential oils were discovered, it was considered the ‘fifth element’ and considered to be one of the essential things to all living things."
Load More Replies...It's not that essential oils are not useful in a way - at least some of them, as eucalyptus oil for a congestioned nose or lavender oil against cloth mots. Ironically, most essential oil users do avoid such "high-content" oils like eucalyptus, mint or lavender, as they actually contain enough active ingredients (mainly cineol, menthol and linalool) to have side effects or can trigger allergies. Apart from those few, essential oils are not meant to be used medically. By all means, inhale your homeopathic high potency ylang-ylang dilution if it calms you down - but putting it up your eartube will only trigger an infection.
Good Soup
Preferably a roll or large chunk. Too make it more realistic. According to Las Vegas shows at least. I love those... Cause it's fun and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Probably had something to do with the particular group of people I was with there too. Still fun. And bread is good!

Soak the bread in the soup and stab the chunk of bread and lift it to your mouth?

Jim Tankersley, the author of “The Riches Of This Land,” explains that strong middle classes breed political and social stability. According to him, a 2019 report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development concludes, citing several studies, that ‘societies with a strong middle-class experience higher levels of social trust but also better educational outcomes, lower crime incidence, better health outcomes and higher life satisfaction.’

Congratulations mister Triplecat, you just bought yourselef a house! Feel free to pur.
When I was a cashier I served a retired gentleman who signed his cc slip with a big smiley face. I asked to see his ID. He proudly whips out his driver’s license and explains that, once he retired, he went to the DMV and legally changed his signature. Since the law just says a signature is a person’s “mark” (because the illiterate can legally sign stuff too by making their X or checkmark), he now had a legal signature of a smiley face. I thought that was hilarious.

I went grocery shopping with my then husband. I sent him off to get a few things from the shelves while I pushed the cart around to the produce and meat departments. He came back, dropped his items in our cart, which was now getting pretty full. He glanced over the contents, searching for something, then asked "Where's the beef?" A lady standing nearby started laughing. At that time in the 1980s a fast food restaurant aired a commercial with the tagline "Where's the beef?"

10 Rolls = 737 Rolls

Canada too. Our toilet paper says 12 double rolls equal 24 rolls. All for 15.99. Looking at this magical double rolls and I am thinking I do not remember single rolls ever being half that size.

A Message From The Thermostat Police
Never argue with grandma or a pregnant woman (or an Auntie if you live in Hawaii) if you value your life
That’s because every woman older than you is your auntie.
Load More Replies...I have the same beef with the thermostat. Sure it is okay if the setting gets modified when it reaches 68, the problem is when it gets left and forgotten about. (Step son would set heat to 90 and walk away. Yes it was 55 in the house but it did not need to be 90; and then he would open a window because it was too hot.)
Yrrrgh. I had a sister-in-law that did the same thing. She'd crank the thermostat to some extreme temperature and leave it. My brother was always griping. She thought like the OP's wife: The higher the temperature, the faster it would heat; the lower the temperature, the faster it would cool. Furnaces and central ACs are on/off, and they heat or cool at the same respective rate, regardless of the temperature setting. It just takes longer to get to a more extreme setting. I've learned to adjust my temp by just a couple of degrees either way. My house temperature hovers at around 75 degrees year round. Still too cold? Warmer clothes and hot drinks. Still too hot? Cooler clothes and cold drinks.

Yes, this actually happened. My family and I went to dinner on they way home from an afternoon pool party. Dad had a really good time and a "little" too much to drink. The waitress came over and asked "Soup or salad?" He said he'd have the supersalad please. " Sir, would you like soup or salad?". Again, he wanted the supersalad. An argument ensued that she had said "supersalad" and he wanted one of those. Dad. Shut up. P.S. my dad really was a super man

$35K for haunted house? MOVE OVER CASPER!! I'm moving in!
Load More Replies...My dad paid 15k for his first house. His mortgage payments were less than $100/ month. I paid 80k cash for my house asking price was 120k. I asked him how much he thought I paid when I moved him in with me (to be fair he doesn't quite have his wits about him that much anymore) and he guessed 30k. This explains a little why many elderly people don't understand why younger generations can't afford housing.
I genuinely want to know why the older generation don't understand why we can't afford it? Older people still know how to do math and know how much wages are and know how much the cost of living is. They're still alive and are aware of what goes on. So I don't understand how they don't get it? The numbers don't lie and the way things are, is there for all to see. So why do some folks deny it as if it is not so?

I still remember when the US finally got chip readers in grocery stores... in 2016. Yes, really. And they were SO SLOW. 20 to 30 seconds slow. And of course, if you had a chip card, you couldn't just slide the card any longer... Some customers deliberately damaged the chip on their card just so they could slide the card instead!

I remember this article too, and it's one of the reasons why I don't shop there, far too stressful. The only way to do it is to sling all your shopping back into your trolley at breakneck speed, trying not to put a bag of potatoes on top of a carton of eggs, and then take all the damn stuff over to the packing counter which is across the walkway and repack everything into bags. Honestly, I used to start getting nervous when i was in the queue and couldn't get the plastic bags out of their hidey hole in the depths of the counter fast enough (as I never remembered to bring any with me). Nope.

It's not really uncommon in homes which have a central chimney, instead of one on an outside wall. The brick space to the left of the fireplace contains a flue from the floor below, either another fireplace or a heating boiler. In my own house and in my mother's house the fireplace is on an outside wall, and they put the bulge from the lower flue on the outside.

He is telling you he drives like an inconsiderate prick and does not know what indicators are for or how they work
One of my college friends drove a BMW when he was in school. He bought it for scrap-value and got it running for very little. When he saw that it had a hand-cranked sunroof he knew he needed to have it.
Let's just hope he's got the Deluxe model, with working indicators, speedometer and an engine that won't stall if the car drives anything slower than 70 mph.
BMW hasn't been much of a status symbol since iPhone started being one XD
Lol sounds like my neighbor. At one point in time he had 5 broken down beamers and 2 running beamers in his yard. The township made him get rid of them because they were causing a critter problem (he was storing trash in them). Every time we would strike up a conversation all he would talk about was his beamers. He was very butt hurt about having to get rid of them.
Guess if he is driving a BMW then he doesn't need a tip. Tips are for people in broken down Chevys.

It really isn't as bad as you think. Consider how much employee time goes into one meal at a busy restaurant. Each plate might take 5 minutes of actual employee time, so a doubling of wage would move the labor cost component from $0.83 to $1.66. Restaurants that double their prices after doubling their wages are fleecing consumers and blaming it on wage increases.
