I was middle class most of my life. Wealth only came later for me. I think being from a blue collar family grounded me and set my expectations modestly. I'd think being poor would do that even better. There's nothing wrong with being middle class though. It's how most of us live life.

Happiness = Outcomes - Expectations.

Far better to go poor to rich. Far worse to go rich to poor.

hmmm... there is the concavity of the happiness-income curve to consider, but I'll stick with my original answers.

Your original answer was clear concise and accurate.

Most people will be born poor and die even poorer, this is the classical outcome.
