The thread on class and details got me thinking about something I’ve often heard. People say they were poor/rich growing up and didn’t know it. Rich people claim, they thought everyone had X as a child. Poor people usually claim they though they were middle class. I usually hear the two extremes. Never really hear middle class opinions on it. So, as a child were you aware that your family was poor, middle class, or rich?

Poll coming.
