[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, and after seeing my middle class friend marry a man from a working class/poor background, I wouldn't. Causes so many problems for them. [b]He's very cheap and thinks she's very extravagant.[/b][/quote] My mom married "down," and they fought over things like whether it was worth it to send the kids to top private universities. My dad thought that our (mediocre) state university was just fine; my mom insisted that it was worth the tuition (all three children were accepted into top 20 universities). My mom won out. They are now divorced.[/quote] My friend works full time and wants housecleaning help. Her DH thinks he helps enough, so she doesn't need it. But in his poor family, "clean enough" is filthy, in reality, and they have enough money to spend $150 a month on a housecleaner. The DH just can't get over the poor as dirt, need to save every penny mindset.[/quote]
