My parents have an extreme class difference between them, and I tend to baffle class radar or read as tryhard middle. Make of that what you will.

I married up somewhat and it's a little hard.

Fully dysfunctional family, with sexual abuse, chasing with guns, schizophrenia including shock therapy, and at least one murder of a child. Married into middle class. I'm not money driven, but worked enough to support family on one check. Often feel looked down on. Awful.

Challenges in my head some %. People assume I can retire anytime but we've got nothing and soon I won't be able to work. Not a victim, just out of my depth. Went to college later in life, not the frat experience. I've got nothing in common with the middle class, but look MC.

You may be overestimating the middle class Generally middle class is a precarious state--enough income to manage routine problems, but not the same margin of error that UMC manage, and a lot of putting on a good face that is: I don't think you're too unusual among to your peers

And you should give yourself a lot of credit for that jump That's a hell of an improvement over baseline

That is so true! And my married children have blocked so much from their children. I actually warned every son/daughter-in-law about the family "legacy." None ran away screaming. I told them how we managed it.
