[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not worried because I came from nothing. It’s not the end of the world to live modestly. And if one has ambition and IQ and is hard working, there’s still plenty of options here in the U.S. 
If they don’t, it’s fine too. Contrary to the popular belief, the U.S. social safety net isn’t that bad in blue states and if one knows how to navigate the system. [/quote]

+1  Same here.  Growing up in a solid middle class neighborhood was way more fun than what my kids have in Northern VA.  Yes they have more opportunities and experiences,  but I have very fond memories of my middle/working class roots and my friends that never left my town had good lives and their kids are fine albeit many of them went to community college or trade school, Happiness comes in all shapes and sizes, and plenty of smart people are middle class - they are just not as showy and obsessed with labels.[/quote]

Time to move back home!! Nothing is keeping you here.[/quote]
