Hints that you are lower class: 1. there is a person you think of as your boss. 2. You are not a major or sole owner of your place of employment. 3. You don't feel like you have a meaningful individual voice in your government, even at a local level. 4. You have a job, ot a business. If more than 1 of these is true, you are most likely lower class.

A family of 4 finds it difficult to live the way their predecessors did in the 1950s on less than $100k. So the rest of us are "working class." I'll sign up for that; when's the revolutuion> I think LT above makes the real point: that the middle class has all but disappeared in the USA.
