[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like this division of 13 classes, versus the 3 we usually discuss here.

In our young stage we are currently waffling between L2 and G4, with the ability to move up the G ladder as the next 5-20 years bring opportunity in our fields.

And culturally I'm a little more G, and dh is a little more L. But his job is the one that will get us up the G ladder. More than his family, he is a G. It's the whole thing where he goes back to the 'country' (really a suburb), and they give him a funny look because he's too 'uptight' / 'educated' / 'snobby' when we are really just at the bottom of the Gs.

There is a marked difference between L and G and it's so noticible in those return-to-home moments. But there is a lot of back and forth in terms of tastes, financial habits, etc.[/quote]

IDk, my West Coast family and my East cost family have those same moments... also North (DC... which is not really north) vs South. [/quote]

I'm pp. agree. We just happened to have family in 'flyover country' (I don't like that term really), but yeah you could have that same moment visiting family in San Diego, Boston, or charleston. Ls aren't only in Kansas or whatever. [/quote]
