Everyone Wants Their Own Bourgeois Bunker

February 27, 2016 Leave a Comment

If you live in a frugal lifestyle, you will have fun reading about the never-ending buying and consuming of material possessions in the modern middle class. Being middle class is not quite enough now that everyone wants their own bourgeois bunker in “mass affluent” competition. “Yet the list is out there, and it rings true. It is also indicative of how we have turned our homes into post-Cold War nuclear bunkers. Heated with an underfloor system, naturally. The MA class doesn’t need to go out any more; whether due to economics, the internet, fear or, frankly, cooking standards, it more and more chooses to stay at home, drinking fine wine, looking at art and listening to professional-level music on a Sonos system. Who needs to indulge in office banter when you have your own private office? Who needs to engage with a local nursery when your child has its own playroom? The rise in home cinemas and restaurant-style range ovens is part of the same mindset.” (independent.co.uk)
