What smaller ticket universal items (ie not cars or homes) would you include in a basket of 5 goods or services (not experiences) as an index of *aspirational* class? For eg: 1. Shoes 2. Produce type (organic/non) 3. Haircuts 4. Moving (self, hired, full-service) 5. Pots/pans

I’m interested because “lifestyle/consumption advice fail” most often happens on social media because you can’t guess current or aspirational class easily online unless people advertise their consumption choices which is hard to do without being crass.

Age is a good proxy. People generally aspire middle class at least and get close to it by 40 or so. The desired/achieved gap is low. Especially for married people.
