MSE_Martin

Poll Started 8 July. What Class Are You? While they should be consigned to history, the ABC1C2DE social categorisations are still often used. So how do MoneySavers fit in? And do remember these definitions & examples are nothing to do with me! (to discuss this or view past poll results go to Money Saving Polls in the Chat Forum)

The categories are ridiculous as a professional could be driving buses for example, so which class would he go in? They are ridiculous anyway and just serve to divide us even more. Also they have nothing to do with financial wealth or standards of living as other factors have to be taken into account.

Agreed Fran. And afterall - what category is a Money Saving Expert in?

So if I become a buddhist nun I will go from working class to lower middle class? Sheer nonsense-all of it-as long as we are respectful to others and honest to ourselves, what does any of it matter!
