I just saw a piece on families basically all living together now because lots of adult children are basically saying if they couldn’t move back in with their parents they’d be homeless.
No. I grew up working class/LMC with two parents without college degrees. My in-laws went to college and had a solid middle class life. They sold their business at retirement and are now wealthy but not when DH was growing up. DH and I are solidly UMC on our own, plus will inherit a portion of my in-laws NW.
