Others pointed this out but I wanted to put numbers on it for fun. Working class means you work for a living, doing some form of labor rather than being able to live and earn just off of your capital. However, someone could then try and argue that Musk for example "works" as CEO, so we need numbers.
The average cost of living in the US is apparently $61334.
The average return of investment in the stock market is roughly 10%.
That makes this part easy: you need roughly $613,340 in investments to no longer be working class in my book.
