9 ways to know if you're middle class

Well, I meet the minimum requirements, I guess. I have a stable job, and hubby and I have a combined income of $50,000 pre-tax.

We take a vacation once a year (Usually Orlando since we live in So. Flo. but we'll take car trips other places.) and we have a Roth IRA. (There's not much in it, though.)

We JUST bought health insurance last month (not through our employer, who doesn't pay for anything, and that would cost us an arm and a leg. I have a friend who's a broker and he got us a good package.).

I don't own a home, though I inherited my grandmother's house, and her mortgage. I don't live there. My father does, and we rent an apartment.

I hate shopping at Target. I usually shop at Sam's because we're trying to save money so we can finish paying off our debt ($6,000 to go!).

I'm a fairly conservative Republican, though I don't vote party lines and will elect whomever I think can best do the job.

I have NO intentions of having a college fund for any of my kids. I had to work my way through school. So will they. I didn't get a free ride, and they aren't getting one either. If they want an education, they have to have the drive and ambition to get it themselves.

You know you're middle class if ... you have to sit in traffic every day, sucking fumes from the car in front of you, so that you can get back and forth to a job you hate and brown bagging it with no Twinkies for dessert.

WOW....MIDDLE CLASS HERE...BARELY.....BU​T  I ALWAYS VOTE REPULICAN. 

WHOEVER IS ABLE TO RAISE A FAMILY, BUY A HOME, AND SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD

AND STILL SAVES $48,000 FOR EACH OF THEIR CHILDREN'S COLLEGE EDUCATION

NEEDS TO WRITE A BOOK TELLING THE REST OF US HOW TO DO IT.  I DON'T KNOW

WHO WRITES THIS STUFF OR WHERE THEY GET THE INFORMATION BUT IT DOESN'T

MATCH UP WITH MOST PEOPLE THAT I KNOW. 

No surprise here, those classifying others as being too stupid to write an article or sugest what is what can't use proper English or spell what they do write.
