Sort of related, there are a lot of lessons learned and observations made when one changes social class.
At some point in my life, I've been close to both extremes. I've been a poor college student with a family and just barely below the poverty line because of the dependents. I was firmly middle class for my youth and then after starting my business. Selling my business has put me in the upper class section.
There are some broad stereotypes that can be made but the biggest difference I see is in how others respond to you and how the system responds to you.
