RE: What Does it Even MEAN to be "MIddle Class" in Today's World?
That is true it is almost everywhere the income become less and we pay so much taxes. Even in such wealthy country like Germany there are many who have two jobs to effort normal life for their children and paid rent. Actually majority in Germany live in rented apartments. There are rich and poor middle class is slowly vanishing. Seems like it is tendency in many Western countries.

I know back in Denmark, that has become true, too... and most people live in rented apartments owned by "housing associations." There are also more and more co-ops where groups of potential apartment buyers pool their resources into a "company" and buy the entire apartment buildings they are going to live in.
Even a 2-bedroom apartment in the neighborhood where I grew up on the outskirts of Copenhagen now goes for the equivalent of about 600,000 €.
Thanks for the nomination; I appreciate it!
