There is really no such thing as a middle class though. We are all n missed paychecks away from being unhoused.

>We are all n missed paychecks away from being unhoused.

So If I am years of missed paychecks away from being unhoused and unfed, what does that make me?

[ElevenLathe]

Someone for whom n is relatively large?

[adrianN]

The value of n is pretty important in the discussion.

No. If we end up missing one or more paycheques we will look for another job. If we do lose our home we will be ideal renters.

Not that that will happen because we will find another job before this.

middle class has shrunk only because the upper class has expanded. Every American citizen living with property taxes is n missed payments from homelessness. unhoused is a misnomer, especially in this context of losing your home.

What if you have passive income though?

Like my passive income from the rental properties that I party own/invest in more than cover my own rent (or mortgage) and food costs.
