The Uppers

Lower-upper class and Upper-upper class seem to be differentiated by a small handful of things. There is not much in my eyes that actually creates these labels. The small distinctions are things like buying overly expensive things because they want the best of the best. These material people shell out money like it's nothing because they can and they want to. They have to keep up the appearance of upper-upper class with all of their name brand, top-of-the-line items so inevitably they spend more money and perpetuate the notion that there are two different types of upper class people in this world.

A much more evident line is drawn between middle class and working class. I think that people in working class live paycheck to paycheck without almost any luxuries. Middle class people aren't too much higher on the totem pole, but they do have the money to buy gifts and have things that they wouldn't if they found themselves in the working class. 

Just to show that people can laugh at themselves no matter how much money they have here is a Monty Python video.
