Living in a camper...off the grid on 90 acres of land that he owns and plans to build a farmhouse and raise livestock on. Working class my ass...
He bought it, yes, but technically the bank owns it yet. IIRC he says he owes $60K on it, and he's paying it off. Very common practice.
With this debt, and working a standard job, he doesn't have the means to raise livestock atm. So yes, he's planning to, someday.
What does this even prove? If I take out a mortgage to buy a house, the bank “technically owns” my house. Does this make me not middle class?
