Whenever you can afford to pay to have a problem of yours solved, it's often the most convenient way of solving it.
Anyone who makes their living by working, either for salary or hourly rate, is working class. Let's just be on the same page about that.
A working class person basically survives by converting their time and energy to cash. So paying cash is also paying with your labour, indirectly and often inefficiently. It's always a matter of "is it worth it"? Hiring movers for moving your entire home may be worth it, just one piece of furniture often isn't.
A wealth-class person gets their income from what they own. Its "passive" from their point of view, the money just appears as profit or capital gains or whatever. It's still a limited resource, but often way more available. Any kind of favours you do or ask for at this point is purely for fun/social purposes since hiring someone to move that sofa, or even just buying and having a new one delivered is way more convenient and time-efficient, since your money is not literally your time.
Aha! That's where you got me! I was thinking "working class" in the more classical sense, referring to typical lower-paying jobs. I work for a living, but I'm definitely closer to what is typically considered "middle-class" in the sense that I make enough money that I feel well-off, but not enough that I could buy a new sofa just because moving the old one is too much hassle.
Obligatory "Fuck the wealth-class". "Passive income through ownership" is a convoluted way of saying "parasitic".
Congratulations, you're part of the working class. Your wealth comes from work you do with head and hand. The epstein class want you to think of yourself as middle class, so you'll feel threatened by the working class. There is no middle class. They take, and we pay. That's what class is.
