A Middle Class Story

Two type of people in society are very happy, rich and poor. The middle class is class between rich and poor class. The middle class is drowning. They look almost rich with their outlook in society but the situation is that every day there are fights in the house because of how the ghee (oil) ended so quickly.

We have two classes, the rich and the poor. The rich are hated because they have money and the poor are pitiful because they have no money.

The budget of most of the developing countries is also prepared keeping in view these two sections, the government also keeps an eye on these two sections. In this way middle class people become sandwich between rich and poor class. Rich people consider him poor and poor people consider him rich.

Who is this middle class?

Person who has everything that seems to be rich but second hand. Has relatively good house but rents. Has car but it is twenty years old. House has AC but usually the air cooler is on. The clothes are clean but have been around for many years. The house has a UPS but its battery usually lasts for half an hour. Has a good mobile but used. When he/she takes his children for a walk in the park, he usually leaves the house after a good meal. Has an ATM card but never needs to withdraw more than one thousand. Plans to do business day and night without incurring any expenses. Its car does great cooling only in winter. Whenever he/she goes to a fast food restaurant with family, the whole family of six suffers in two burgers. In fact, it is living worse than the poor. His whole life is spent in setting up and spending committees.

Middle Class in Pakistan

There are more middle-class people in Pakistan than rich and poor but they are not counted in any account. Two type of people in Pakistan are very relax, who has a lot of money or not at all.

Who has money sleeps in AC. Anyone who doesn’t have one can sleep on a sidewalk. The rich man does not ask for anything from anyone and the poor man stands in front of everyone with outstretched arms. The friction seems to be with the one who has the money but can only afford it.

The majority of the poor are being raised by these middle classes. Sometimes it seems to me that the greatest fear of God is found in this middle class. This is the class that does the most charity. Sometimes their own life is going worse than the poor, but because of ego these poor people do not tell anyone.

Upper and Lower Classes

You have never heard of the term Lower Elite Class or Upper Elite Class. You have also never heard lower poor class or upper poor class. Only the words of the lower middle class or upper middle class are heard.

Upper and Lower Middle Class

There is not much difference between lower and upper middle class. The lower ones have motorcycles and the upper ones have old model cars. They contribute to a camel or a cow on Eid al-Adha, even though they cannot afford to sacrifice it. They spend their entire life making plans to turn off the extra lights and reduce bills.

They also use the 100-rupee card in their mobile phone with utmost care and inform the family that if I give a missed call, it means I am coming. Giving two missed calls means I’m a little late. They once iron the clothes and wear them two days. They check the electricity meter readings every two hours to clear the suspicion.

They are never able to pay all the electricity, gas and water bills together in one month, so if they pay the electricity bill, they put the gas bill on the next month. Since most of them are literate, they do not reach out to anyone. They do not have enough money to marry their daughters splendidly, they do not have reference for a good job for their children.

A poor working aunt who work in their house also works in different houses, she manages to collect four to five months’ ration from each house in Ramadan., including about 50 kg of flour. But the middle class worries that the 15-day ration they brought home is about to run out and there is no chance of getting paid.

what does the middle class do?

It does not ask for Zakat, nor does it ask for Fitra, nor does it beg. They just work hard for better tomorrow.
