    It’s all they have left to feel fulfilled. As a lower middle class dude that will work until the day I die: I dream of a year or two I can just travel when I’m in my 60s. But I’ll probably bail my neice and nephew out of some scam they fell for while paying off some scam my mother fell for on a deep dementia dive on Instagram.

      What does middle class even mean? If you can’t afford to travel wouldn’t that put you firmly within the working class bracket?

        May be an American thing, or local. I’ve seen middle class as working class.

        I also dropped out of college before I could get class dynamics beaten into me. Where I’m from you’re white collar, blue collar, or no collar.
