Guest Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 What is your social class? Have you changed social class throughout your life? I'm working class. I was born working class and will almost certainly always be working class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Depends on what you qualify as "social class". I'm not rich or anything but I do consider myself a higher class citizen here in Peru, especially when I divide it between the lower class, middle class and of course what I am. I live in a good district and overall would like to think I'm agenda free and more educated than a lot of people in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well my dad works a non-skilled manual job, my mum has generally been a housewife all my life, and I was the 2nd in my entire extended family to go to uni (1st being my older brother), so by birth I'd call myself working class. But I'm most of the way to being a qualified lawyer, which is basically the most middle-class profession there is. So yeah, call me what you like, doesn't really change my way of thinking about the world. At the moment I'd say I'm a pretty much broke postgrad student with a working-class background who's had the privilege of a pretty intense education at a prestigious uni.

Do you sit at home and do nothing to save the dough or just invested/budgeted incredibly well to save such an impressive amount? Curious!

Having an inheritance can definitely make you do silly things with the money. I bet there’s others out there whom piss it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that kind of money and investing it wisely you can live purely out of the yields and not have to work a single day more. But it's ok if you want to study, depending on the career you can recoup the money you have spent on education and then invest it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember partying with a rich dude In India and paying $25 at a night club for a Jager Bomb i didn't even want at 4am, whilst his driver sat outside keeping the engine warm in the 20th hour of his shift when his monthly salary was $50. I tipped the guy $20 and still felt disgusted with myself even though he was so grateful he nearly cried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost a substantial sized extension of the royal family or other old money. It seemed much more classist than most other western countries or cities I've been to imo.
