[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what class am I? I don't know.

Moved to US from overseas when I was 12 and all the social connections were left behind, family came with no money and what was in suitcase. But going back three generations immediate family were a law professor, a pediatric heart surgeon, a OB/GYN specializing in high-risk pregnancies, a pediatrician, a patent chemist. Then we moved from that overnight into poverty because post-USSR we had no money and even less when it was converted to USD. Now as an adult, my income is still very low, live in a tiny condo, dress poor because can't afford anything else. But I still very much value education, love books, spend a fortune on extracurriculars for the kids, There's very little in my checking and not much in savings. I buy artisanal foods and joke to husband that this is my chandelier now (to replace the one we left behind, because I've no place or money to hang the real thing here). What class is this?[/quote]

Depends.[b] How well are your children doing and are they going to be heart surgeons?[/b] [/quote]

What does this have to do with it? You know that doctors (and all other professionals as well) are just extremely well-trained servants, right? [/quote]
Yes, but climbing the servant class hierarchy might eventually lead to generational wealth if paid well enough.  [/quote]
