          Just as long as there aren't any other numbers involved, I don't mind.

            • You appear to be confusing salary with income ...

              • This is a good thread. I enjoyed the part where the Indian middle class apparently has house servants. I wonder how many bathrooms they have?

                • (definitely not more than you, this is India we're talking about)


                  House servants are also very common over here, for middle class even.

                      Yes. This stunning cultural juxtaposition is something I've mentioned a number of times over the last 8 years when I want to sound as if I know something about Indian society.

                      • It's much the same thing here. Middle Class by developed world standards of income, or even about half of that, means you're ridiculously wealthy compared to most of the people around you. For the price of a meal at a diner in the mall you can hire a live-in maid/cook for a month. Or a driver. Or a gardener.

                        Though in many cases here it seems to be more about poor relatives working in rich relatives homes for even less in the way of monetary compensation. (Living in a nice house and eating good food being the main benefits.)
