me .... me i'm poor, but i get by and couldnt be happier
I have an aunt and uncle who are self-made multi-milliionaires (no kids). They've already told me not to bother buddying up to them, all their money is going to their foundation (nature/wildlife conservation). :chuckles: They have some nice real estate (they're hunters and own a lot of land), but they drive shitty cars and live like normal po-folk in Wisconsin.

Hmmm

Lower Middle growing up

My dad was an owner operator truck-driver for 20 years during the time period when truck drivers made awesome money..so he made decent moneys. My mom has worked in insurance for about 26 years I think. 10 of those years she was the VP with part ownership, 3 years ago she took over as President

3 kids. I was the only one that went to college and I paid for it.

Me and my 2 brothers are old enough that we dont ever need or ask for moneys from them..so Id say theyre a solid Upper-Middle currently.

Moms oldest brother is filthy rich though. He does computer-tech bullcrap for down in Texas. Word is he got paid 200,000 or something rediculous like that to live in Austrailia for like 6 months to do some training job, and for taking over a whole other region(dont know what any of that means).

Moms parents are wealthy..always have been. My pap was an engineer of some sorts, nanny was a lunchlady :]

Dads parents/family are estranged. I dont know much about them. Only know his mother, and step-father.

Bunch of kids from high school used to think we were rich because our house looked big from the outside. I remember one of my school friends came to my place to work on a project and saw our *gasp* 36'' flat screen tv that we had back then.

After that he kept acting weird around me and saying I was a rich snob. Shit like that hurt me. My dad worked hard to be able to afford nice things.
