he was astonished when I was quietly explaining why young people arent having kids. i dont think most boomers realize not only the cost in things but the stagnation of wages because they were already in their high earning years when that stuff really went sideways

 

[Comrade Khan]

What I consider Upper Middle Class is more akin to: "We can afford to buy a house and own more than one family car."

Upper middle class to me means you can afford vacations and your kids college. Middle class is vacation and loans, lower middle class is no vacations
