[quote=Anonymous]I have a family member who has fallen.   High income father growing up, stay at home mother.   So they lived the typical upper middle class life growing up.  Private school all the way.

This family member refused to go to college, even though he had a trust fund.   He's in sales, now.   And that's fine.  I myself did not grow up UMC.   So I know there is much happiness to be had in working class and middle class.  It's just "different."

His lifestyle is very much middle class as opposed to upper middle class.   In real life, he seems happy enough.  Very mild mannered.  But on facebook, he comes across as your stereotypical angry white male.   I don't know if these are related somehow.

They will rise back up to upper middle class if they inherit from their families.   He has disowned his well-off parents, so we will see how that goes.    I don't think they will do it on their own, with four children and one SAHP.    They are making different life choices.  Very valid life choices.  Just not ones conducive to accumulating wealth.
