The Financial Upbringing of Site Members

[Al Gulud]

I wonder what kind of lifestyle the people here are in currently. I'm pretty sure most people here are in the average suburban upper middle class kinda family but if I'm wrong please do share your current financial situation.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I live in a cardboard box and am only able to access the internet with my state-provided iPhone and unlimited data plan.

FUCK YOU, TAXPAYERS!

 

[OB 946]

I live in a van down by the river.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I'm living in a box. I'm living in a cardboard box.

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Currently squatting in a rundown soap factory. Sometimes, my neighbors steal one of my walls, it drives me nuts.

Hey, I didn't realize we were in the same neighborhood!

 

[Black Waltz]

I live in a dumpster rn

 

[AF 802]

I'm locked inside your heart-shaped box. Been here for weeks.

 

[Nekromantik]

I run and live out of my own business.

Here's a picture.

We don't get many visitors but we fend for ourselves.

 

[RG 448]

I live in a workshop where I craft denim jeans with the rest of my new brothers and sisters until our leader has enough money to build the communication spire that contacts the mother ship.

 

[The Flawless Gazelles]

Ugh. I'll be the first idiot to answer somewhat honestly.

I'd say I was on the lower end of middle class growing up. Not playing with the newest toys and video games, but not deprived of anything of real importance (at least monetarily).

I'm currently probably upper middle class, got a house, a car for me and my wife, in a decent neighborhood, in Taxachussetts. The city I live in has a very big black community, so I'm less... racially sheltered... than some might be in similar situations. I don't know why I even mention that, I guess I just feel it doesn't quite match the expectations of the background.

 

[The Great Chandler]

Just a 1 minute walk to my workplace. Pretty neato!

 

[Evian Les Rutabaga]

Currently? I've got a 30-y.o. trailer sitting on a rural lot south of the Florida-Georgia line. Beats having to worry about being carjacked again in my front yard. Growing up, some of my parents' tax returns put them earning the median income for an African-American family.

So, maybe not UPPER middle class, but it's a life.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

Would have grown up middle class but thanks to my dead grandmother's chain smoking everything my grandad made went to paying off medical debt. Looking back it wasn't so bad especially seeing how the dollar has devalued since the 90s. As a plus it forced me to learn how to do shit on my own. No money to take the truck to a mechanic so I learned to fix that shit, can't afford to call a plumber so got decent at DIY plumbing, and things like that.

Now I'm mister responsible in the family and doing alright. Working on moving up in the company I'm at so I can be an overpaid exec that does "something".

 

[oldTireWater]

Growing up poor and dirty taught me to value financial stability over happiness. We rebel against our parents.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I live in your attic.

Your city has a BBC, huh?

 

[Sylvie Paula Paula]

Don't check the basement.

 

[Some Manajerk]

Currently about to move into an apartment by myself, got a paid off car and a steady job, even if its not making me that much.

trying to sock money away to buy land in the future.
