Are you TRULY middle class, or are you rich? Let's find out using actual data.

Everyone in India claims to be middle class. A person earning ₹1 Lakh/month calls himself middle class. But then I met someone in Mumbai earning ₹8 Lakhs/month—nearly ₹1 Crore a year—and he ALSO identified as middle class. If earning ₹50K is middle class, if ₹2 Lakhs is middle class, and if even ₹8 Lakhs a month is middle class... where does the buck even stop?

This is India's identity crisis. And the answer? Money doesn't care about your feelings. Money cares about percentiles.

In this data-driven breakdown, I pulled the raw numbers from the authoritative PRICE Report and Income Tax Department to show you exactly where you stand in India's wealth pyramid.

Here's what you'll discover:
✅ The Bottom 60% - "Strugglers & Aspirers" (₹5L household income)
✅ The Real Middle Class - 31% of India (₹5L-₹30L household income)
✅ The Statistical Rich - Top 10% (₹30L-₹50L household income)
✅ India's Elite - Top 1% (₹50L+ household income)
✅ 10 Lifestyle Indicators That Actually Define Wealth
✅ The "Metro Tax" - Why ₹8L earners feel poor in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi
✅ The Formula to Check If You're Actually in the Top 1%

What you need to know: This breakdown exposes why a person earning ₹8 Lakhs/month feels middle class. It's not about humility. It's "Asset Poor, Income Rich"—the gap between your cash flow and your net worth. That's what creates middle-class anxiety.

Key Takeaway: If nearly everyone from a delivery executive to a corporate VP claims the same title, the word becomes meaningless. The real classification isn't about feelings—it's about percentiles, net worth benchmarks, and lifestyle spending patterns.

This video took extensive research to compile because I wanted to hold a mirror up to India's financial reality. It's different from the usual wealth-building content, but I hope it gives you clarity on where you truly stand.

Don't let comparisons fool you. Data doesn't lie.
