I don't think most people would restrict "middle class" to only those who can live off their investments.

We have a much more complicated relationship with class in the UK which is not well reflected by the language we use, that's certainly true. We often determine what class someone "is" by their social status and cultural interests moreso than the Marxist way. I read an article some time ago which identified 7 classes separated both by cultural and economic capital... This is closer to the reality in the UK imo.
