Having in mind that currently Bulgaria is in a situation of economical transiton and financial pre-organization, is very difficult to be defined a middle class today. However, we managed to obtain enough information and succeeded in drawing a truthful picture of the rich and the poor.
      The indications of affluence take a huge number of transformations. We are able exactly to judge someone's social status by scrutinizing their outlook appearance. For example the rich people in Bulgaria are easily recognizable for a few strands. First of all they show off with luxurious jewelry, sports and expensive cars as well as attending snobbish restaurant, cafes etc. Another point, which designates the rich people from the rest, is the residence they inhabit. When you first see the large, massive stone hence of their houses, the 2-3 storey-buildings equipped with lavish furniture, with the latest say of modern digital technologies. As far as their attitude to the people of mean condition is concerned it is usually underestimating and haughty. The reason is that they regard the lower classes as not equal to them for their lack of financial funds. But there is more to it. More often than not they avoid participating in any kind of charity, which leads to obvious hatred by the others. Another aspect of the issue about the groundless despise of the poor to the rich is related to the illegal sources of fortune. The rumuor has it that not only is it inhabutial to be honest in your business dealings it is almost impossible in order to get rich. Our precise statistics firmly establishes the wide spread opinion of the masses that the public admins and the majority of the politicians are well-off due to the infinite corruption in the country.
      To sum up, our conclusion states without any doubt that there is not a well-structured market economy yet. Instead unqualified governors control the financial system and therefore the private business does not have midst and equal opportunities for development and competitiveness.
