Re: Middle-class lifestyle
In US,
middle class = having to think whether I should spend the money on an expensive item.
Upper class = I wish I had the time to go get that item I had been wanting to get.
Re: Middle-class lifestyle
Does that mean yours truly never messed up? 
Coz I don’t remember you ever messing with me. MashaAllah saada tey raub he ina hai.
Have fun deciphering the punjabi.
Re: Middle-class lifestyle
That wasn’t the intention. I was browsing one of the news websites and it wrote about people who earned a median income and how far their incomes stretched and I just found it interesting what people considered to be essentials and what were luxuries even for a middle-income family. That in turn made me wonder how one’s location also affected what they deem to be a middle-class and relatively comfortable lifestyle.

Re: Middle-class lifestyle
I don't know.....I don't think the amount of cars and bedrooms relates to class............instead the more cars and bedrooms can also be directly related to family size

Middle class in Pakistan
Visiting a book shop and choosing only novels ignoring poetry books thinking : These poets are just too much a book of 180 pages (containing most of pages with just two lines) is being sold for Rs 400. Better to have a novel for Rs 400 containing 400 full pages.

^ brilliant, laughed loudly while reading. Good note to retire on.
Re: Middle-class lifestyle
U know so much :)
saves me the trouble of replying :)
I would say that in Pakistan there's extremes of class.
Nobody wants to be called middle class now. There's a class below poverty line and then there's a upper rich class (businessmen, industrialists, bureaucrats). Then there's a professional working upper middle class who try to stick in the elitists circle with their lifestyle in terms of housing, cars and sending their kids off to the best private schools.

Ha! True that.
Being middle class in Pakistan (and everywhere else these days) usually means fighting for what's left of your sanity, relegating books to a luxury past-time for most. On a recent trip to Karachi my mother was doing the rounds in Liberty Books/Urdu Bazar armed with the usual book-list I always hand anyone heading East. She asked for a few titles, mainly politics, Murata's 'The Tao of Islam,' Said's 'Orientalism' among others. After being told only 2 out of 10 titles were available she turns to the clerk in exasperation, "Log kitaabein nahin phartey kya?" With a twinkle in his eye he replies, "Baji, dange-fasad phelane se fursut ho, tab na."
