What does “Landed Poor” mean, anyway?

[CDMA ENG]

Well…

Ever since I “landed” here in San Diego…

I felt poor… 😛

Now if I live in PHX or LV I would be living in a Mc Mansion…

but instead I rent a crappy two bedroom in Point Loma.

Good question. I always thought it meant you were poor if you calculated your net-worth based on the amount of land you owned or the value of your land.

I love the “Landed Poor” description. The Victorian language is very appropriate. The industrial revolution of the time created the middle class and the suburban neighborhoods.

Everyone wants to live a baronial lifestyle in a manor surrounded by an estate (lawn) with his own horse and carriage (car).

So we have to work to maintain that lifestyle. A real Baron has other people working to maintain his lifestyle.

Here are excerpts from a 1983 article from Spokane, WA entitled “The Landed Poor: A New Class Emerges”

“‘It used to be we were seeing mainly people who were working, but had mismanaged their finances,’ says Breen. ‘Now it’s more a case of people simply not having enough money to pay. A lot of them are fairly average, middle-class people whose financial situation has taken a turn for the worse.’

For example, Yvonne Kinney and Charles Vejvoda have only $649 left to pay on their $40,000 home but are six months behind in payments.

They have bills, mostly medical, totaling nearly $15,000. They are both unemployed and living on food stamps with their three children and Kinney’s mother.

Technically, they could sell their home, pay their bills and have money left. But then they’d have to rent at five to 10 times their current monthly payment of $69.”

The more that things change, the more they stay the same, eh?
