So, so sick of being lower middle class

Who is writing on here. First off yes I am lower middle class and not working class, because my parents had skilled jobs, they weren't unskilled workers, and they bought their home, they don't rent it and I did not grow up on a council estate. But at the same time we were not at all well off, as I explained, we lived in a semi in suburbia, so we were lower middle class. Second of all, how can I talk to rich girls when I have a regional accent, I don't have any money, I didn't go to posh schools, they ignore me, and I don't even live in the places where they live like London. No I can't afford to do a masters degree. I have finished at uni but I am still a member of the gym as an ex student. I am doing free courses online. More than anything else this post was just a vent at the system we live in.

You're working class bro 🥲 The sooner you make peace with this the sooner you'll stop feeling such an inferior imposter. You realise 'lower middle class' is the sort of thing we largely say to make people feel better? Like when we add 'Executive' to a random job title, or call a section in a library 'Young Adult' when everyone else just calls it the children's section, it's all about massaging egos.
You don't 100% inherit class from your parents btw, like I was brought up in a middle class environment largely due to my grandparents accomplishments, but when I make my own way in the world I'm bluntly kicked back to working class as are you (unless your family is the sort of rich where they casually buy you a home or hand over a 6/7 figure trust fund when you move out). I'm nearing middle age and I own my home, I own my vehicles, small business and smaller rental properties but I'm still v much working class and largely rely on my wages to get by.

Owning rental properties means you are not part of the working class anymore. Being a landlord is the graduation phase into the middle (or even upper class ). Congratulations on being nouveau riche.

I am writing to vent because I am so, so sick of being from a lower middle class background in this society and feel I have no options for betterment. I did a languages degree with translation and there are literally no well paid jobs in this field. I grew up in a semi, my father was a civil servant and my mum was a part time teacher. We were average in every way, not poor but a long, long way from being rich. Second hand family cars, holidays were nearly always in the UK, getting a designer pair of trainers was a big expense for us. I have a slight regional accent and when it comes to it, I really lack confidence like most people I went to school with. I never thought about these things until uni, but I met so many people who had been on holiday all over the world, been skiing, live in posh parts of London or the south, went to private school, speak in posh accents and are so confident. I was at the gym at my uni earlier this week and this girl was there and I had to ask her something, basically she put her bag on top of my jacket by mistake and I had to ask her to move it. She was very attractive, no doubt from London or somewhere and had a really posh accent, and I literally felt like a chimney sweep speaking to her. Can anybody else sympathize, I mean how do you even start to move upwards in this country? It isn't just people it is house prices and everything.

Chin up, at least you don't have to go to food banks and sit in a freezing cold house all day, or live in a Premier Inn paid for by the state not being able to cook anything. There are worse positions to be in. Much worse.

Why not become a civil servant and get on £100k a year (plus pension). You'd at least then be middle-middle class even if you decided to live in the south.
