Right? The happiest couple I know is a firefighter instructor and an elementary school teacher. [/quote]

And they probably grew up middle class with working blue collard parents.
They don’t know what they are missing [/quote]

Tend to agree with this. I grew up genuinely middle class (not DCUM middle class) in a poor neighborhood. My parents still live in that poor neighborhood. There is nothing worth aiming for there. There is nothing redeeming about downward mobility. [/quote]

If you lived in a poor neighborhood, how is that middle class?   [/quote]

Because we had more money than most of the people around us? Not to say that we had a lot but many of them were on a fixed income or reliant on government benefits of some sort. There were a few other families like us. Most of those moved further out to a vinyl village which was safer but hardly desirable either.[/quote]
