You are a gifted writer. <br /><br />On the topic, I don't have a lot to say, but Hubby and I learned about a teacher-of-teachers who seems to have figured-out how to distinguish the 'classes' in our society. <br /><br />Her name is Ruby Payne.

I have been VERY fortunate and we have been a middle class family forever, but I grew up in a family with a lot less money (thank God for food stamps).
