I consider myself classless, but Middle Class suits me best, I think. I am on salary, spending my working days playing the part of the domestic pig being surrounded by small business owners and a part-time office manager..

I don't really think much about what class I'm in, but I am fairly comfortable financially, and I'm very grateful for that. 10-15 years ago, I was a wreck.

Definitely with you on that - been there, seen it, done it, got the bad memories.
There but for the grace of the Gods, etc...

I don't accept your class stratification system. I prefer Marx's analysis of class, which broadly speaking states that you are either a member of the ruling class (bourgeoisie) or you are a wage slave (proletariat). I do not own the means of production and I am not a capitalist. I have to work for a wage (I am a teacher) so therefore I am proletariat (or working class).

So what would you call a person who owns a business that hires two people?

God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all"

Middle-class. Oscillating from the edge of poverty to the upper middle class during my life.

Class of 97
Oh, wait. I'm not sure. Please define boundaries and requirements. I might be upper higher class if we consider that most of my possesions are useless items that are mostly for leisure activities like a gigantic cd collection that few actual rich guys have. But I'll be quite low class if we check my bank account. Which is strongly related to my previous point.

In case you haven't read the newspapers: Marx is dead.

If non-essential possessions are the measure of a man, then class is inversely proportional to the size of flat-screen TV you own.

Lower Middle Class / Working Class, I guess. We don't have classes where I live, but I'm not exactly rich.

I know we in the Nordic countries put some emphasis on equality, but still...Norway has done it properly!

 You know what I mean. We don't have defined classes in the Nordic countries, do we? Of course we have people who are richer than others, but how much money you have doesn't divide the people to that extent as I think it does in other countries (but I'm only guessing here, I don't presume to know how this affects the day-to-day lives of people in other countries).
