minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down10·4 months ago“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.
minus-squareCypher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·4 months agoYea 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!
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down6·4 months agoSorry, you think anyone under a billionaire is middle class?
minus-squareCypher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down2·4 months agoI 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.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down4·4 months agoI 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.
minus-squareCypher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·4 months agoLuxury 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.

minus-squareCypher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoYou 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.
