There is an exapmple (and cases like this are quite common): in the office where I work there is a chauffeur, he earns a little - about 500$ a month. But he inherited an apartment from his grandmother (which was given to her by the evil communist state absolutely for free), this apartment costs about 600000$ and the guy passes it the lease for about 2000$ a month. He lives at his wife's (she doesn't work) apartment (it costs about 200000$), which was also inherited form her grandmother. Are they middle class? Or who?Originally Posted by charlestonian
