    The problem is that everyone has a different definition of “rich”. I think OC has a good definition.

    I’m not personally a fan of “middle-class” meaning “has about as much money as me, or as much money as I’d like to have”, or “anybody who has to work for a living, but doesn’t need to use a food bank”.

      That’s why there tends to be separation in the type of middle class. “Lower Middle class” “Upper Middle Class”

        To me, this is like how “The Mid-West” is in central/Eastern USA, and “The Middle East” is not actually anywhere near the Mid-West, but in Western Asia.

        Arbitrary phrases that sound like they would have concrete/objective definitions in relation to one another, but are actually defined by culture, history, and however the person using them interprets them, lol
