Religion and wealth: Which best describes you?

1. I would like to think of myself as middle class, but

With the median price of a single family dwelling in the Seattle area now over $380,000, I am unable to meet one of the basic requirements of "middle class" standing and probably never will.

2. I kind of thought the same thing.

Well, I used to consider myself middle class. But, I don't think so anymore. I can not save a dime lately and I am so exhausted from working too much and paying too much, I can't seem to get anywhere. I think I may be lower class and religious at this point.

5. Hi TechBear!

I am also a techie, but I am a " techie has been" and I also live in Seattle. Dot Goner? That is what I am... I may be poor but I am wiser as well. Prefer to be wiser, lol. Feel free to PM me if you want.

3. What is the definition of middle class?

that part always confuses me.

4. Yeah this poll is kinda pointless...

...lots of people think they are middle class when they are upper-lower.

And the term "religious" doesn't really differentiate between "churchgoers" and non-organized individuals with strong spiritual convictions, which I suspect is a hefty number of people who can't decide with religion category to pick.

6. I think there ought to be a lot more income categories than

just rich, middle class and poor - and certainly some breakdown of what you mean by them.

7. You forgot agnostic

Atheist means that god plain does not and cannot exist. I wouldn't go that far; a lot of unlikely things might be true. I could care less about religion, until it starts getting in my face or limiting my rights. The truly religious don't need to go around blathering about Jesus or Allah.

8. None of the above..

Lower-middle..former catholic...never go to church, but not militantly anti-religion (except for the Jim Jones-y zealots)

9. It really depends on what you deem wealth

I am an incredibly wealthy person. I have the most wonderful spouse and soulmate anyone could ask for. I am supporting a health non-profit that really stands for what I think this country should do for wellness. I have a spiritual support group around the world. I have had my dearest wishes come true. Every day I thank the One and pray "to be contented and thankful for Thy Bountiful gifts."

This has little or nothing to do with the amount of money I have. :)

10. None of the above

I'd say spiritual with my material needs currently satisfied.

Religion is distinct from spirituality and odious in comparision.

Assuming one's basic needs are met, wealth is mostly a state of mind.
