maybe its too cerebral? Uh wait, did I just type that out loud?

I would not call D&D a particularly high-brow hobby, for better or for worse. It is, however, a relatively inexpensive one. It would not surprise me at all to find out that that the hobby as a whole attracted low to middle income participants.

Minor nitpick back at you: In actual economics, there are more factors of production than merely the one you stated (i.e. Labor): Capital, Natural Resources, and Management are also factors of production. (Including Labor, that's a total of four (4) factors of production.) (Some pundits may claim the existence of more than four.)

That's a nice breakdown. I'm thinking a division can still be made between Labor and Management vs. Capital and Natural Resources. (Although, I'm still uneasy about this placement of Management.) That is, being wealthy means owning enough Capital or Natural Resources to be supported by the rent available from those; conversely, one who is not wealthy has too little of either to be supported by rent.

Thx!

I'll hazard a guess that I make more than you, but I also probably live paycheck to paycheck. If I didn't get paid, I'd have a serious problem paying the bills without dipping into retirement.

I'm not entirely sure paycheck to paycheck is a qualifier for class-level, as it also depends on your spending habits (ex. why did I eat out so much I only had $100 before the new paycheck hit?)

My entire issue is poor spending habits. That said, when I think paycheck to paycheck, I think of a person who end up with a zero sum total by the time there is a new paycheck. No savings, no retirement fund, just 100% in, 100% out. That's my boat.

HOWEVER, I recently got myself working on getting out of a fairly big crater, so hopefully by end Feb. I can start some kind of savings.

It's not that. The rich play an exclusive version of the game, Dungeon$ & Dragons, and hang out in their exclusive websites. Did you not know that this place is entirely subsidised by £NWorld?

Websites? Nonsense, the rich have *actual* fantasy worlds where they play.

Sadly, they don't need fantasy worlds. For the rich, the real world pretty much is a fantasy world.

TO be sure, I tried to read up the usual definitions. It appears I belong in the middle class (based on numbers available for Germany).
