19 Working Class People Share What They Wish The Upper Class Could Understand
1. That when you say you’re broke you really are. They
always think you must have some money. I find my middle class friends
and family will always assume I can come out for a meal or to socialise
when I tell them I’m out of cash. I guess middle class people always
have some savings and aren’t checking the back of the sofa for loose
change.
3. Knowing that falling sick and losing a weeks’ pay
would cause financial burden that would take weeks, if not months to
recover from.
That is fear.
5. The feeling of the check engine light coming on and knowing that the repairs will likely cost more than you have to your name.
17. Things that are necessary, that you pay extra
money for? They pay for those things in time. You paid extra for a car
to drive to work. It takes you say, 20 mins to get there, 20 mins back.
They pay 5 bucks a day to take the bus, which takes them an hour to
travel the same distance, and an hour back. Not counting the time they
spend just waiting for the bus.
So, every month, assuming they are lucky enough to work full time,
they spend $100 and lose 40 hours to transportation alone. That is an
entire extra week of work per month to just get to work.
19. Telling someone to work hard, doesn’t mean they
can escape their situation. There are cleaners on minimum wage that work
harder, and longer, than 99% of the population, but they’re still on
minimum wage, so can barely cover the rent.
