    “Middle class” and “small yacht.” Most middle class people can’t even afford a house. This is something that costs more than a luxury car.

      Yea no one in the middle class can afford a house, a couple of cars and a small yacht.

      It’s impossible without having billions in the bank!

        Sorry, you think anyone under a billionaire is middle class?

          I think there’s enough room in middle class for someone to own a small yacht.

          You seem to think middle class means poverty and near homelessness.

            I think there’s not enough room in “middle class” to buy a home and a yacht that costs more than a luxury car.

            There’s a reason they’re called luxury cars. They’re for the rich.

              Luxury cars are defined solely for taxation purposes.

              Having a couple of million in assets is still middle class. A union worker can build that sort of wealth over a lifetime.

              You probably aren’t middle class given your limited views on some rather modest assets.

                That is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

                Millionaires are not middle class.

                  You think a skilled working couple can’t accrue a couple million in assets over their working life?

                  Well that explains a lot. You’re bad with money.

                    I think “millionaire” has literally meant “rich person” for a very long time and I’m not sure why you keep making this personal.
