Two parent households with multiple kids. Mom and dad work enough to provide but not enough for luxuries. All the kids relatively normal and no one on drugs. You don’t see these types of families too much anymore only the poor trashy version.

Come to my house, except we are closer to upper middle class and my wife is hot. Other than that it’s the same thing

If I remember correctly the dude in the back did turn to drugs and became a kingpin of sorts in the meth game

That’s my point you only see this with upper middle class. The lower middle class version is gone.

Why would you want to avoid the cause?

Govt is destroying the middle class systematically. If youre wealthy or poor, the gubment cares about you.

Probably depends on your definition of upper and lower middle class.

However I see plenty of families like that where I live? So might be just the OPs perspective of his community

We still have to count our pennies each month and have to say no to a lot of things which in my mind is crazy for what our income is

I never dreamed we would make what we've made.

But costs have made it impossible to live on wages. Its now a wealth based economy and has left most of the population behind.
