[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a class issue at this point. UMC and UC do not have children without getting married. A married couple invests their assets in their children (education, activities, healthcare). 
Marriage is the driving force on inequity between classes. This is written about all the time. Smart, wealthy people know this and capitalize on it. [/quote]

Interesting. I have younger cousins from my childhood in the Midwest now marrying at 19-24. If the average DCUMer met these people, they’d regard them as poor country bumpkins. Some of them are in or finished college, and some have opted out attending entirely, but they are far from alone among their social circles in marrying at that age. I’m 32 and many of my friends & coworkers aren’t married.

I personally think it has more to do with religiosity & political orientation than class.[/quote]

Both can be true. Country bumpkins also have wealth aspirations and religious or cultural imperatives.
