I'm glad you're doing well. I am too.

However, I was talking about the larger population.

Son, I am the lower third of the middle class. Don't tell me about how hard it is. It can be done. People just choose career over parenting.

Sure it can be done. But for most of the population it's harder than it used to be.

That would give them more money, not less.

Harder? More goods & services at a lower cost, meaning the "middle class" has more crap than they can dream of, hardly makes it harder. Consumerism, credit, housing, large purchases are easier than they ever have been. The problem comes from Keeping up with the Jones.

Choices.
