I saw this topic and thought it was interesting. Middle class is an evolving segment, and it differs in economic regions.

 

When my grandparents were alive they lived in a 3 bedroom house with a single bathroom and detached garage. They had one car they shared. Grandpa worked, grandma ran the house and mothered 3 children. They were middle class in the 60's.

 

When my parents were alive they lived in a 4 bedroom house with 2 baths and an attached single garage. They had 2 cars they shared. Dad worked, mom ran the house and mothered 6 children. They were middle class in the 70's.

 

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom house with 3 baths and a double car garage. We have 3 cars and a condo at a resort island. We have no children. I consider us to be middle class, but certainly living better than my grandparents, or parents.
