Thanks for posting.
Never in my blue collar life did I consider myself poor, nor stuck in a rut or something
Most of the time I had two cars (one for the Mrs), the 5 kids were fed, healthy, educated and cared for.
We went on vacation once a year (If I decided to stop working to go), and a ton of other very satisfying elements of my life
Y'mean .. I WASN'T content and happy ... with a bank account to boot ?
