I just don't understand it, it seems like murican's love to go to places like starbucks or mcdonalds and get a breakfast sandwhich. Here in sweden we just make our own breakfast.

Vote what you do and please explain in the comments

I don’t understand what class has to do with choosing how you eat breakfast.

I make my own breakfast, but only because I like it, and I’m not paying an exorbitant sum for mostly trash fast food.

@Carissimi If I was rich then I wouldn't be asking this question, I'd have restaurant food for every breakfast

Oh. Well, many working class are rich or comfortable, and can afford to eat out every day. Some can’t, and some can, but don’t want to. @MartinTheFirst

@Carissimi Just because people are working it doesn't make them working class, rich people work too, they're still upper class.

I don’t understand your definition of “working class.” Rich People are not all upper class. @MartinTheFirst

@Carissimi It's the historical definition of working class

In Western cultures, persons in the middle class tend to have a higher proportion of college degrees than those in the working class, have more income available for consumption, and may own property. Those in the middle class often are employed as professionals, managers, and civil servants.

It’s not the modern definition though. Plenty of people without college degrees became super wealthy. I think Zuckerberg and Gates are two of them. In fact, they are. Here are 100 wealthy people without college degrees. https://smartandrelentless.com/100-ultra-successful-people-who-did-not-get-a-college-degree/

The class line is not what it used to be. @MartinTheFirst

@Carissimi Meh, I'll continue to classify the working class as those who have to work hard to survive. I won't change this definition even if I get rich, still work, and want to call myself working class just because of ego.
