[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am getting tired of the upper-middle class white American meme of "job-car-house" that seem to rule our existences.  We have to study hard and go to a good college not to learn about the world or enrich ourselves, but to get the "job-car-house" trifecta. Then, we spend our entire adult lives working to keep the "job-car-house" and to get a better "job-car-house".  We compare our "job-car-house" to those of other upper-middle class white people; we look down on people who do not have the same level of "job-car-house" that we have; and we get jealous of those who have a better "job-car-house" than we do.  Then, we start the pattern all over again by raising our children to go to certain colleges so that they too can obtain a certain level of "job-car-house!"                 [/quote]

This is so true. And so sad.  [/quote]

I'm older than  you are, likely, and this meme never has ruled my life. It's a choice. We live in the house we bought 15 years ago, and our cars are 5+ years old. Either of us (although not both) could quit our jobs tomorrow.  Take control of your own life.[/quote]
