You Might Be Middle Class If

I've said time and again to walk a mile in my shoes, and then you'll begin to appreciate the essence that is you. For that reason and for the sake of a little dark humour, I've comprised this list of things that could define the middle class in today's economy. Some may even hit close to home; my home:

You might be middle class if - - -


-You winterize your summer wardrobe, such that it is, by adding socks, stockings, hats and sweaters.

-When you accidentally run out of toilet paper, you rely on kleenex, napkins and even paper towels.

-Whatever you can do yourself you do, rather than paying someone. That could include manicures, pedicures and hair styling for us girls.

-You are robbing Peter to pay Paul,.....you know what I mean: skipping this bill to pay that one.....

-You have been crushed under a mountain of credit card debt, because you were helping others achieve the American dream that, for some reason, illudes you. Duh!

-You have learned to make minor home repairs so you don't have to pay a professional.

-You do NOT answer the phone, if it's on, without the benefit of caller i. d. in case it's a bill collector; again.

Hey, feel free to add to the list. I will too, for there's no shame in my game.

PEACE!
