Being in the capital class means living by renting your possessions to workers and living off of them, or living by owning businesses and living off of the profits that your employees generate.

It doesn't mean anyone who has a nice life.

That's literally what I'm saying.

I was responding to this:

retired people have some similarities with the bourgeoisie, in that they earn a living on savings and investments, so no longer work.

In Marxist theory, bourgeoisie is the capitalist ruling class, and retiring doesn't make you a part of that club.
