Quote:A battler is an Australian colloquialism referring to "ordinary" or working class individuals who persevere through their commitments despite adversity.[1][2] Typically, this adversity comprises the challenges of low pay, family commitments, environmental hardships and lack of personal recognition.[3] It is a term of respect and endearment intended to empower and recognize those who feel as though they exist at the bottom of society.
I don't have low pay, and I technically wouldn't even have to work to be middle class. Statistically speaking I'm at the top of society, although I'm at the bottom of that lot so I'm in a weird no man's land of too poor to be rich and too rich to be middle class.
