I live in Capitol Hill and know two families in this situation. [b]In one instance, they used to live in a much smaller house on the Hill and I was confused when they "upgraded" because they have very middle class jobs.[/b] But then they mentioned the house had been in her family and it made sense. There is no resentment there-- it was useful to understand.[/quote]

This is such a strange take. Many, many wealthy people who work do so in “middle class” jobs, often in non-profits, the arts, advancement, education, etc. They choose to use their excellent education, connections, and experience in service to others and society. The majority of actual wealth in America is transferred not merely earned through a job. A middle class job often says nothing at all about a person’s net worth or access to wealth.

You’re making assumptions about people based on limited information and wasting valuable emotional real estate being “confused” about things that have nothing to do with you.

Another poster said that comparison is just the way the world works. That’s just not true. It does not work that way for everyone. You can think better thoughts.
