[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t actually know anyone like that. But we’re kind of middle class. [/quote]

OP here. We are not "kind of" middle class. We are middle class. We own a tiny home we bought for under 500k when rates were really low and cannot afford to fix it up or to move. We have extremely normal jobs with no power or prestige. Public schools, modest backgrounds. I work in a field with a lot of jobs in the DC area due to the federal government and all the universities, which is how we wound up here, but it's not a glamorous field at all.

My perception is that a lot of the people I encounter like this only make slightly more than we do, but either have a spouse making a lot or have money from family. We don't live in NW DC or one of the pricy suburbs. I assume this issue is even worse in those communities, but I'll never find out because we could never afford to live there, nor will we ever send our kids to any of these elite privates (or any private school) or get them involved in any super expensive EC. But even in our very middle class existence, I encounter people like this a lot.[/quote]

It must be you. I posted upthread and live in CCDC and haven't encountered this dynamic in any friendships or relationships. [/quote]
Translation: “This has never happened to me, so isn’t real and OP you’re the one to blame. I’m rich and live in one of the big bad neighborhoods so that makes me the authority on this subject, especially now that I see that you’re not rich. Listen to me and fall in line!”[/quote]
