Many iyer and iyengar matrimony asks and self evaluations in regards to the family status caught my sight. Every salaried person or pensioner is calling themself Upper Middle Class.
I always think if brahmins can ever call themselves to be part of upper middle class or rich do they belong there ?
If we look at other communities, it is the people who have multiple streams of income , strong business and having multiple properties / assets classify themselves as rich or upper middle class.
I think the brahmin Iyers people who have made their living as an employed salaried class can never call them upper middle class. People who have a house, pension to support a normal living never belong to upper middle class. They must also not add the life style upgrade offered by the children to classify them in the new league. I really dont understand if people understand how the family status is defined.
Let us be honest, people who have been working in bank or some public and private enterprises as mgrs or some senior level executives cant call them upper middle class. If they stop getting their pensions or kids loosing their job, majority of them will downgrade the lifestyle.
The real upper middle class/rich in other communities travel in a premium economy class, stays in star hotels and pay the medical bill out of their own sources and have multiple sources of income
