    The poor (anyone who already is, or would end up on the street if they stopped working for a couple years.)

    I’m hoping you mean “weeks” here rather than “years”. Anyone who could just stop working for a few years without becoming homeless, I would classify as rich.

      I think there’s a small middle class who could survive without working for a year or so, but wouldn’t really be able to live well. Probably mostly just lower level tech workers and so on. Although if they moved to really poor areas in the US they could probably be classified as rich so YMMV I guess.
