Thanks for sharing
IMO your views are seen through tthe glasses you've always worn even when you were younger. Your daughter will learn how she feels about it and then find her own path.
I have about the same checkered past that you do most of it was pride because I didn't want much from my immediate family who were well off, and the rest of the family well to do. But I did learn which most of my cousins did not, how to ebb and flow with the world and it's classes. I never did fit into one clique or the other, not one class or another.
I'm comfortable eating with bums in the morning and then having afternoon tea with the upper crust. I'm not saying that I'm better than you, I'm just more comfortable with it that you.
Classes suck. I don't strive for any more than what I need. The wife and I make good money together but I'm not interested in living that large. I'd rather live comfortably and still have more to go.
