So am I middle class or not? Need to decide if I should get a Latte or a 'cup of regular joe' at lunch...

If you signed up for follow up emails, they will tell you where you fit into their 'modern' class system later in the year.

I don't think the social aspect is particularly accurate, but thats generally me.

**Maggy J** · 07-02-2011, 16:32

Well I succumbed but I don't believe it.

Economic/61 out 100
Social/100 out 100
Cultural/100 out of 100.

Can't get results like that..it's not feasible to get the last two..

Owning a home is a huge bit of economic capital, my well above average income doesn't compensate for someone who owns a property worth a ton more in real terms than they paid for it

Your results

Your economic captial is calculated using three factors: your income, any savings you have, and any property you own.

Income - Your responses to the Great British Class Survey suggest you earn more than the average person in the UK.

Property - You say that you don't currently own any property. Over 65% of people in the UK own the homes they live in, and property is one of the largest contributors to personal wealth in Britain.

Savings - You say you have a moderately large amount in savings. You’ve done well! People in Britain are saving less than at any time in the last 40 years. Research shows that people are more likely to save if they expect their financial situation to improve in the future.

Overall, your financial resources are about average for the UK.

Your results

Your responses to the Great British Class Survey suggest that the diversity of your social network is about average for the UK. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, but it does indicate that you are about as well connected as most people living in Britain today. That said, broadening your network to include more people might open up new opportunities for you.

Your results

Your responses to the Great British Class Survey indicate that your range of interests and activities is about average for the UK. You probably have a few hobbies that you are quite committed to, while leaving some of your spare time free. There is some evidence to suggest that the broader a person’s range of interests and activities, the more diverse their social network is likely to be.
