I have friends who made a few million off going to work at the right company at the right time. That's petit bougie. Retire in your 30s and do whatever. Invest in a couple rental properties.
But someone who is making enough to live comfortably, save for retirement, pay for a couple of kids including education, etc... that's just a worker who hasn't had their dignity completely stripped away by the system yet.
That's the petite in petite-bourgeois
