[quote=Anonymous]It's an interesting question because I grew up in poverty (actual definition, not exaggeration). So when I was on my own the minute I turned 18, I had a one bedroom apartment in a safe neighborhood with a futon for a couch and an IKEA entry level price bed (which was still expensive for me at the time), an extremely cheap dining room table with two plastic chairs, a TV and a stereo system (my most expensive possession at the time). I thought I was living my best life because it was so much better than what I'd had as a kid. My DC only knows what they know based on their life, being UMC the entire time. So I would imaging they will experience some "downward mobility" when they graduates college/grad school and gets their first job. And guess what? They'll still be making a hullava lot more in their first job than I did and hopefully have a leg up vs. where I was.[/quote]
