[quote=Anonymous]I’m a WOC who grew up working class (but remember spending early days with my grandmother, no electricity or bathroom) and my mouth is agog at this and I’m trying to wrap my head around why. I think it’s that despite having a HHI of $250k in DC it’s very hard to *feel* that I’m that far removed from those days of having to choose between medication and food, being hounded my collectors, etc. I aggressively save, and we probably could afford to go on more trips than we do currently. I do want to pay for camps and lessons when the kids are older. But there are things on this list that I don’t think I could ever bring myself to pay for (like swim membership), not because I’m judging anyone who does, but just because in my head we’re not soooo far away from the security I would need to feel we had to afford those kinds of things.[/quote]
