After reading this article about “The Shame of the Middle-class”, I am not all that surprised by the numbers and facts that where listed on this article. I find that being in the middle class isn’t as cracked up to be like it was 30 or so years ago. Today, being in the “middle-class” is harder to achieve then it was years ago. Now to be label as “middle class” you would have to make a three figure salary instead of a two figure salary that most Americans make.
