Growing up in the middle class myself, I witnessed a whole flurry of societal woes of the perpetual savers. Constantly thinking about building up their capital and worried about losing their retirement, the middle class is perfectly equipped to be constantly anxious about money. Rightfully so, when I was a child, I was a middle-class classic, living in the suburbs, walking to my middle school, and hoping my parents would buy me a new bike for Christmas. Then 2008 happened, and you can guess where my college fund went - womp, womp, womp.
Alas, the fleeting feeling of middleclassdom should be cherished while it still exists; you are the last of a dwindling breed!

While memes are a reflection of our society as a whole, funnily enough, middle-class memes are a mirror to the housewife's soul, an open wound of hilarity with garage-recreational dads, and the ever-elusive college education. White picket fences, casserole treats, and homemade cookies from Grandma's recipe await the middle-class goer, because although they may not be rich in cash, they're rich in love and family.
Ultimately, it's love and family that make anyone wealthy in the first place, right? Rich people are grasping for the last thing they lack, and oftentimes it's the inaccessible invitation to the family dinner table for the holidays. So while middle-class folks may be stuck spending their lives climbing the corporate ladder or watching the DOW yo-yo their 401k account, at least they can rest easy knowing that they have struck gold on the unattainable: Camaraderie.
So the next time you're arguing with your sibling about them stealing things from your childhood bedroom or when you fall off the trampoline and twist your ankle, thank your lucky stars that you have to request PTO for your vacations, and you remain steadily employed like a good little worker bee. For the middle class is calling and it's hoping to regain some more teammates on the side of humanity, empathy, and a darn good potato-baked casserole recipe.
