JOG -
We were never "poor". I had decent clothing, a nice bicycle as a kid, and we never lacked for food, medical care, or those sorts of things. That's why I said that we would be described as lower middle class. Actually, recalling it now, we did own a modest home for about 2 years when I was about 10 or 12 years old, but for some reason, they sold it and went back to renting.
My dad had various jobs. He worked in the local GM plant for a while, then went on the government mammary gland, working in the county offices. I was 16 when he died, so I don't have much memory of his work. He was 50 when I was born, so I had little knowledge of his life as a young man.
Hopefully you inherited a portion of your dad's success.

I didn't exactly nail it. I did okay. Getting exposed to pesticides and heavy metals and industrial chemicals didn't help. Being sick equals not working AND spending money. Finding someone who can diagnose the problems is almost impossible. Insurance won't pay for chelation therapy.
I did have a boss who offered to send me to Texas Tech if I would agree to be a teacher. I declined. But, it's an honor to be seen as worth taking a chance on. I did solve a lot of problems for that company. I did okay. I have not rented a place to live since I was 28. I'm 61. Landed a brick, three be, two bath, two car garage, fireplace, 1,300 foot house in Midland. I think it was the nicest place I ever lived, including my dad's house.
I need to get some chelation, but it's expensive.

Read her book, called Two Income Trap.... It tells a different story. How home ownership, lowest since the late 69's, as well as other factors have crushed the middle class. Real clear politics website has a link and summary on it today. This lady has it right....
