Lower Middle Class or Lower class Family? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In Today's Economy would the Evans be considered a Lower Class Family or Lower Middle Class? I think they would be considered Lower Middle class. although they could be right on the boundaries of Lower class.

How would they be considered lower middle anything when it was only a ONE INCOME household that was very small to begin with?

To me, they seemed lower class. Wilona and Penny seemed middle class. Wilona was dressed out. That botique be giving the discounts. LOL.

Willona was head buyer of that boutique. I guess she would buy a lot of things for the store and kept some of the stuff for herself.

Remember her rags that she wore in the meatloaf/dog food episode? Recession rags was it?

Middle class people don't live in the projects.

I think it's difficult to assign this category simply for the fact that it seems to keep changing. It seems like growing up, there was only lower, middle or upper. Then I think people that were in the lower class got offended and knowing they weren't actually middle class, they started creating new ones; lower middle, upper middle, lower upper, upper middle, etc.
I personally think that financially speaking they were lower class. I mean, Michael and JJ didn't even have their own room and slept on the couch. Speaking from a position of their heart and decency, they were upper upper class!

Lower Middle Class is considered the "working poor" which was not the Evans.

They were Lower class and poor

It was also rare to see a mother and father living together in the projects-lol

I always thought they were poor. Heck, there was a period after my mom had left my dad, where we lived in "the projects"--although these were actually individual homes, not apartments or duplexes. Still was income based.
