To be onest, I think that you can be considered poor whenever you can't buy what you want.
I don't mind about collectibles, so with my amount I can buy whatever I want for my catalog, so for me it's fine.
Is up to you decide what do you want to do with your bells...
I guess I am rich on the current version of TBT then with 16,000 TBT Bells.
However I did have a grand total of 480,000 TBT Bells on TBT v1.0 thanks to my brilliant idea of the MMC.
I'm poor but I really don't give a damn, I believe this forum is a place where people aren't judged for their class, but for their attitude. I know I'm not a mod, but that's what I believe.
Wow then I've must have been poor all my TBT life then... I never made it past 1k bells because I always spend it. Once I finish (haha like that'll ever happen) Sapphire, I'll probably get more btb.
I've always been poor in tbt, but rich in collectibles.
also I don't really get why there should be classes..... like just because you have certain pixel squares or a large amount of virtual currency, it doesn't make you any better. it's just bragging rights for the rich and something to work towards for the poor in my honest opinion.
I don't really think there's a rich or middle whatever. I look at the amount of posts. Even someone who has 15 bells can have 30,000 posts. Some people just get lucky. But if I had to write it:
Poor: Under 1,000
Middle Class: 1,000+ or 5,000
Rich: 5,000+
