Does anyone else get these videos on TikTok where it's like:
and the comments are so uninformed that they just accept this stratification as a given. Try to explain to people that if you have to work for a living and if you stop working you die then you are working class and it doesn't compute. Nevermind that you can't actually raise a family comfortably with a single income of less than £70k in this country, if you try to explain to people actually yeah we should all be getting paid a hell of a lot more they will look at you like you've just tried to fuck their dog.
In my opinion, if a middle class exists, it is small business owners and doctor couples with a combined income of £400k, and anyone that has started to accumulate rental properties in addition to owning their own home.
