[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised in an upper middle class neighborhood, where either parents were rich or both parents worked. My dad was in sales and my mom didn't work. It sucked. Had I lived in a less affluent neighborhood I'd have been happier, but I still remember getting teased in sixth grade because I'd never been on an airplane, or to Disney. I remember friends saying flat out they didn't want to come over when it was warm out because we didn't have central AC. I remember new friends laughing at our basement that there wasn't even carpeting and you could see all the pipes and it was just lit with bare lightbulbs.  I remember being on a long car ride in HS with three friends who talked about their favorite places in London and Paris, and I didn't even have a passport.

But had we lived somewhere a bit less affluent, I'd have gone through childhood feeling very different. And still would have happily gone to a state college.[/quote]

weird. I was raised in mclean and we were renters and lived in multiple houses over the years. family had one car and I saint go on a plane until i was an adult. My childhood was great as I still  have a large tight knit local group of childhood friends. Nobody gave a shit about how much money my parents didn’t have. [/quote]
