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

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 :smack: 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.

Re: Middle-class lifestyle

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.”
