What Is Middle Class?

[Stan4dSteph]

As a single person, I wonder how I fit into the general definition of middle class etc.

I suppose my view of middle class is someone who can comfortably afford the typical amenities like cable TV, internet and phone, with possibly a cell phone. Can save a small amount every month above any 401K or retirement investments. Has a car.

I tend to view someone who owns more than one residence as not being middle class, but I suppose that can vary based on the area where you live. We never had a lake house or vacation house, but many families I grew up with did.
