On the other hand , the middle class trap might refer to people over extending themselves to buy the trappings of middle class life: big house, expensive cars , nice vacations only to be in so much debt that they are living hand to mouth and are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy I have heard of couples making 300k + who are struggling to pay the bills
