Jobs that arent easily affected during economic swings and jobs that allow the individual to have more control over oneself and his daily activities

Not if they were in private schools before and graduate to public universities with TOPS scholarships

My SO's parents are saving so much money now that all of their children are in college instead of private BR high schools that they're about to do a major renovation of their home.

You wear a cravat and smoke a pipe, don't you? It's okay to tell us the truth.

Not one bit, just the general disconnects from real life that exist on the OT.

Not in slightest my best hope is in marrying up a class. I just may have a better grasp on which class I belong to. My family would prob be considered upper lower/lower middle along with nearly everyone posting
Eta: and parents have a household income around 350k

Fin difference is in our divorce paperwork child support ends when the kids graduate high school. I don't mine helping my kids out at least my money will not be a paycheck for my ex to do whatever the frick she wants to do with it. I know I will be paying for along time still
I work with a bunch of older fellas that remind me daily.

what is the poverty line in your opinion?




You do realize you are mainly talking to people living with assistance that have zero idea what real world income looks like right? They are still on fairy tale land that everyone comes out of college making six figures.

I grew up with parents who had close to upper middle class income but were at least a class lower socially. I am definitely dating up at least a class or two. Hopefully my career will help me to make enough money to belong in that class both socially and monetarily.
