Lower class: must work continuously
Middle class: has leisure time available, can take breaks from work, but must work to maintain their lifestyle
Upper class: work is optional, can maintain their lifestyle indefinitely without ever working.
Nah.
There's people pulling in over a million a year, and just blowing it all almost immediately.
They're upper class, but they can't live that life and not work.
There's people with millions in the bank, but live a middle class life and never stop grinding.
"Class" isn't just about wealth. You need a minimum amount of wealth to move up, but there's people who live a lower class life with the money to move up if they wanted, and there are people with an upper class lifestyle but it's because they make terrible financial decisions and everything is overleveraged and they have a shit ton of debt.
Lifestyle creep is a real thing.
They are choosing to do that though.
Maybe this is the true meaning of lacking class.
