That's one hell of a list of middle class miseries. The Fb status update about Crocin is awesome. Most of things in this list are absolutely true.
What's there about Crocin? I am curious to know about it. And yes, I have met many people who are somewhere in the above-mentioned list. It's awesome how the writer complied the list so wisely.
:woohoo: :woohoo: Good ones, but I have seen many people belonging to rich over middle class category who do a lot of these things, so it is not just middle class who try to be thrifty in many such ways! :laugh:
It depends on the mindset, the nature and the tenancy of the person. Rich people also behave in a miserly way at times and poor people too spend money liberally at certain times.

Oh you have raised a good point Anil. Even I have seen such people who are earning in thousands every month, but still don't pay their newspaper bill to the poor guy.
Rich, poor or middle, you have to live in your means and fix your priorities. It is best to eat what you like and is also healthy. Dress and live as others normally in your category do. Then there is no tension.
Problems are not just related to a particular class or a strata of the society. We see problem ridden Monarchs and carefree commoners. It's all about the mental state.
very true,many a times in my case and might be in most middle class cases,
but how come you travel in flights and go on tours to Bangkok but do not discard your paste till it is flattened.
the rickshaw and mineral water incidents were true in my case once upon a time but now changed with the influence of some rich friends,
The manually appending mail is cool, might be i'll try it the next time.

There is nothing wrong in extracting the last of the toothpaste from the tube, that does not mean you are stingy but rather a person who does not waste things, and it is also better to drink regular tap water instead of 'mineral' water which is hardly mineral of course. In fact drinking only mineral water, you are helping damage the environment, to produce only a bottle of mineral water means wastage of at least 3-4 liters of good water that could have quenched the thirst of an entire family in a drought-ridden village. The truth is now there is a snob value attached to each and everything and wasting food and stuff has become a way of showing your rich status! Ridiculous and stupid, in my opinion!

Good one Kalayani... You have indeed stated the fact. Our urge to show off and get our selves compared with higher class is indeed ruining our lives indeed. We need to be ourself because we are what we are. rich, middle or poor... God save us...
