[quote=Anonymous]For me growing up we were lower middle class, but what made it hard was we were much less well off than almost all our relatives. Several of our relatives -like 6 other groups of aunts.uncles.cousins - went on trips to Europe and Mexico at least once a year. We took a bus tour to Niagara falls. They always got us great presents but we always felt bad visiting their beautiful homes, like how is it everyone else in this family is living like this except us (difference in careers) Once I got taken along to Europe as kind of charity and because I could easily bunk with my female cousins. It’s amazing now giving my kids such a great life but also realizing this is what so many of my cousins got to experience. It’s weird now to vacation with them because we are on similar salaries and homes, but a nice feeling too. Full time nanny, cleaning service, landscaping, are all things my parents never dreamed of but I feel lucky enough to have.[/quote]
