[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds to me OP like your families are both still middle class, albeit yours apparently has more money.  but still, both middle class.  remember, a back hoe driver probably makes more $$$ than you do.  My aunt had a plumbing company and retired at 50 with millions in the bank.  My mom's fiance is a former chicken farm inspector worth millions.  You would never know, so don't always judge a book by it's cover - having a desk job isn't everything when it comes to money.[/quote]

Class isn't just money. It's an intersection of education, money, personal wealth, and profession.

You can play with this calculator to see what I mean:

Duh.  [b]But if you work, they work, and what separates you only has 1 or 2 commas, then as far as I'm concerned, you are in the same socio-economic class. [/b] [/quote]

No. There are different kinds of work that divide people by class. A plumber is in a different social class than a professor, although good plumbers will undoubtedly earn more than most faculty. [/quote]
