[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are more issues in your question than just marrying within your social class:

-There is a difference between social class and wealth.  Look how many titled Brits (highest social class) are not wealthy.
-Is marrying more about wealth or social class
-If it's about wealth, is there a distinction between liquid/non-liquid wealth?
-How acceptable is divorce?

I come from great wealth but low social class (father grew up in a trailer in KY. Mother grew up cash poor/land rich in the midwest). I'm less concerned with wealth/class than I am character.[/quote]

lol You did not grow up wealthy if your dad lived in a trailer park. I guess it only works in the sense that every poor person in America sees themselves as an embarrassed billionaire.

Not true. I'm a DP, but I can relate to this person.  My dad built a successful business out of his trade - think mid-seven-figure income and eight-figure net worth in the nineties.  Neither of my parents even started college and their parents were farmers.  So we were wealthy in the sense that we had a lot of resources, but we didn't hang out at the golf course or wear designer clothes. I married someone who grew up poor but was ambitious, driven, and became financially successful.  We both relate differently to the "upper class" - he has a chip on his shoulder and has always tried to fit in and hide his past, whereas I'm unimpressed and avoidant as my family shunned that lifestyle.
