When you think about it, we're all just dust that exploded so hard it started thinking about itself. That's why things like deadlines, getting groceries, and emails might seem trivial in the grand scheme of things. But we live in a society, as the internet philosophers would say, and do those things regardless.
The Middle Class Fancy page sums up quite well what it's like to be a person in this day and age. They poke fun at the nightmarish hellscape we call modern capitalism with their spot-on, relatable memes. So, if you're feeling like having a chuckle at the state of the world, scroll away and have some fun!

Cinnamon Toast was my go-to as a kid. Buttered toast with cinnamon and sugar.
The following that the Middle Class Fancy page has on Instagram is no joke. As of 2025, there are 3.3 million folks following them on the platform. Considering they started in 2020, that's quite impressive, too!
Instagram isn't the only place you can find memes from this creator(s). They're also on Facebook and X, pulling in an audience of 191k and 16.5k, respectively. With such a huge following, you probably could've seen their content online already, so, scroll down and let us know if you see anything familiar!

I just want to know the hours of business, what is on the menu, and thecprices, so that I know whether or not I will need to sell a kidney to eat there or order takeaway.
The memes on Middle Class Fancy don't all relate to socioeconomic hardships and absurdities, but they're still largely about what millennials and the older Gen Z face every day. As far as the real middle class in the U.S., it's been dwindling in the past decades, but the situation isn't as dire as some make it out to be.
According to research by Pew done in 2023, 51% of Americans fall into the middle-income bracket. The percentage of the population belonging to the middle-income tier is smaller than it was in 1971 (61%), but that's not the most concerning statistic. The biggest issue seems to be the widening gap between lower-income and higher-income households.

My golden is currently wearing a red bandana, sleeping on his twin bed in his own bedroom, waiting for foodies to dispense, having gone on a run through the woods earlier. I wish all creatures had the fabulous life he has.
In 2023, 30% of the American population belongs to the lower-income bracket, and 19% are in the upper-income tier. Compared to 1971, these numbers were 27% and 11%, respectively. Experts explain that increases in income for the lower and middle class didn't keep up pace with the increases in income for the upper class, hence the ever-growing divide.

I used to live in an apartment that was right next to this huge lemon tree. My landlady -- who had lived there for like 40 years -- said that a previous tenant had planted that... from a seed that came from a store-bought lemon. I was like, "Whoaaa..." So yeah, it's sometimes mind-blowing to grow plants from other plants, lol.
Another recent study showed that whether households belong to the middle class in the U.S. depends on where they live. In some states, like Massachusetts and California, your yearly income needs to be way higher than in, say, West Virginia or Kentucky. Nationally, the income range to be considered middle-class was from $49,500 to $148,500 in 2024.

Can they just invent a self checkout that can recognize an empty bag already? A three year old human being can recognise a paper bag... Wait a minute I have an idea!
Yet there was one clear conclusion that the Pew researchers emphasized. Since 1970, the share of total U.S. income held by the middle class has decreased steadily. At the same time, all income tiers had higher incomes overall, although the rate at which income increased for upper-class households was the fastest.

Due to remarriage I had 3 grandfathers. Pa, Papa, and Po' Pa. Thing is Po' Pa came up with it himself "Your Pa and Papa have money, so that makes me the po' (poor) Pa"
Interestingly, when asked, most of the U.S. population believe they belong to the middle class. Gallup's annual Economy and Personal Finance poll in 2024 showed that 54% of Americans identify as middle class. 31% consider themselves working class and 12% identify as lower class. Interestingly, only 2% said they belong to the upper class.

Why do people call their parents 'stupid'? I once stopped trying to be friends with this girl who I heard saying 'are you really dumb' to her mother over the phone.

There are people that, get this…run. On purpose. Every day. And they look like they’re enjoying it. I kid you not.
In reality, "middle class" and "middle income", which are often used interchangeably, mean different things. Middle class is more so a lifestyle, while middle income means households who make two-thirds or double the median national average. Yet for many middle-income households, the middle-class lifestyle is hardly attainable.

It has to be at least 8' wide, I'd prefer 10' myself. I remember playing on the porch during a terrific storm and not getting wet.
But what does it mean to be middle class? For many, it's the classic American dream: not having to live paycheck to paycheck, home ownership, vacations, a summer house, and being able to save up for the future. 42% of the people who fall into the middle-income category can't afford to buy a house, for example.
#26
According to Bankrate, 33% of Americans earning between $50k and $79k also live paycheck-to-paycheck. And 60% of those who skipped a summer vacation in 2024 said they couldn't afford one. Megan Doherty Bea, an assistant professor of consumer science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, explains that while these households may be earning enough to fall into the middle-income category, they also may have high credit card debt and student loans.

I can assure you, if you dropped the duck in tomato sauce instead of oil, it would also have a permanent residue. Nothing stains like tomato, except perhaps red wine.

It gives an earthinness to the flavour and body to the dish. Just try this: mix a bottle of passata with an equal amount of broth. Add pepper to taste. Simmer half of it with a large bayleaf and half of it without.

This actually happened to my family once. The hunt wasn't life or death. One Christmas Eve we were celebrating at our parents house (all the kids were grown up by then) when our cousin decided to try and scare us. Dressed in a sheet and snuck up to the window. No one was scared, but we decided to hunt after him. Took us several hours. Best Christmas ever really.

I almost always get to leave early. I'm scheduled until 6am, but I'm usually done by 5:15. My relief is there at either 4:30 (if it's the boss) or 5:30 (if it's a colleague). No reason for me to stick around 🤷♀️

In all fairness, "Can't Buy a Thrill" is a pretty good album. But "Countdown to E*****y" is better.
