| Shelly,
Do realize that what some people think is middle-class is what other think of as well-off. Lately, most people think that "middle class" means someone like a professor, accountant, or police captain. Others would put "middle class" as someone like a lawyer, doctor, or marketing executive. Still others would put it as someone that makes over $200,000 a year but less than a half a million. I was using pretty much the middle definition. Also, having a live-in domestic staff is becoming less and less popular with the higher classes. It's about privacy mainly. For example, I have a cousin that is the founder and CEO of a cell phone company, major stockholder in it, and is by any definition wealthy. His wife is a housewife and they don't have a live-in maid. They do have a maid service that comes through every week, but that's it. |
