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.

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.

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.’

Three years ago we started looking for a new house to be closer to husband's work. The very first place I looked at had this crap in every single room, on all 4 walls in each room. The real estate agent & I looked at each other & said at the same time "Too many words". I knew right then that I had picked the right agent, & we're still friends!

Remember when you used to politely cough to get someone's attention, and they would be like, "Oh, Am I in your way? I'm so sorry" and they would move, and you would smile and nod and thank them? Now, when you do it, it's like you have tapped them on the shoulder with a loaded shotgun

This missed the bit where we crop off the tops of our heads because our hair is thinning and we can't just wear ball caps 24/7 like guys do Also the part where we lean our chins on our fists to cover our sagging necks (and our elbows are just hanging there in the air)..
