I got as far as I could with my diploma from stoner high, 25 years in grocery retail and wholesale, and 17 years of truck driving.LowIQTrash » 08 May 2024, 11:26 am » wrote: ↑ I don't consider this bragging at all. Your story is actually quite representative of someone who is "middle class."
In fact, people like you ARE the "disappearing middle class." Your type is an endangered species. Forget all those **** charts showing the middle class is still 51% of America.
The sad part is people who work paycheck to paycheck and are 6 months from being homeless in the event of unemployment think they are "middle class."
If you said you had $20M in NW I would say "Yeah that's bragging" but this isn't...maybe to someone who is poor and struggling it would sound like bragging, but I've been around too many people in the top 1% that I'm actually annoyed I have to set my standards so high
I won't get into the 3 decades before that last decade, it was an absolute disaster. Live and learn.
I'm glad those working years are over, pretty sure I'd be in jail for using the wrong gender pronouns.
