I definitely agree with this, but I think you will find very few people that do.

People in the middle-class want to believe it has more in common with the lower class.

Everyone thinks the person slightly richer then them is the one making money they don't need and lives the luxurious life, and everyone their income and lower are the ones with real struggles.

The middle-class (me included) might not like it, but they aren't the same as someone who struggles to make ends meet.

Not at all. The middle class is closer to the working class simply because the number of digits in their pay check (6) is closer to the working class pay check (5) than to the CEO’s remuneration (8 to 9).
