[quote=Anonymous]It depends on what you mean.  When I was a kid, I spent my whole life with friends in different income brackets.  My dad was/is very wealthy for this area in the 80s.  After the tech boom, there are MANY more people here who make high incomes.  But in the late 70s and 80s there weren't a lot of people who made high 6 figure incomes in the (then) far flung suburbs.  No one in my school had a family with even half of my father's income.  No one in our neighborhood.  No one but the people he worked with made his kind of income.  I don't think either of my parents thought about it.  They both came from more reduced circumstances.  So they were friends with neighbors who were teachers, home makers, doctors, retirees, world bank managers, military, government employees.  They were friends with my friends parents who were paralegals, police officers, government employees, military, etc.  My parents didn't think anything of it.  And I don't think our family friends thought much about it either.

I think if one family is wealthy and the other family is solidly middle class/middle income the divide is less noticeable than if one family is literally living in poverty.[/quote]
