Observations from the Outside

Despite my own New Yorker-ness, I'm probably still a bit of an outsider. And now I feel like a little but of an outside-America-er.

So I was thinking recently, the difference between the self-proclaimed Upper middle class and the self-proclaimed Lower middle class:

The UMC go to university and major in something they love, rack up lots of debt in the process and then get out and have no idea what kind of career they actually want, but yet still manage to go to yoga and pay rent. The LMC goes to university a major's in something that guarantee's them a job, racks up lots of debt, finishes university and get that's guaranteed job and pays off their debt and their rent and avoids yoga like the plague.

HA! I must be in the middle of LMC and UMC. Went to Yoga 3 times since graduating. I am not in debt. Kind of have a part time job, somewhat related to what I want to do, but I live at home, and have no prospects. I am the other LMC, the LOSER Middle Class.
