[quote=Anonymous]SES poster hère. I grew up in a wealthy and very educated town, but we were not wealthy (details withheld for obvious reasons). Half of my friends were like us, barely making it. And half of our friends lived in houses that would make Potomac look like it was on welfare. We realized it. The town also had subsidized housing, where people got by on public assistance. In such a town, you really only saw those three groups. I don't know how different it is from this area, it seems (the three groups I mention). In most of America, one would not see such disparity in the same zip code to such an extent. But in places like "here", there really does seem to be the haves and the have nots. If my parents saw it that way, they thankfully did not pass it on to us. I am grateful, because noticing the disparity does not seem to help grown adults much. [/quote]
