>be lower class>avoided the usual low class trashy things like smoking, excessive drinking/drugs, tattoos etc and no criminal record>now deep into adulthood and I'm still a low class peasant working around other low class people and living in the hoodShould I have just embraced my environment and status? I thought I could figure out a way to not be what I am but God shut all the doors when I tried to escapeCan anyone relate?
I'm high middle class and I wonder the same thing at times. Maybe life has a unique way of being that very few of us are supposed to have, and we just have to accept it for what it is. Maybe people are supposed to avoid us. And maybe we should still keep going even though they wish we won't.
>>34561786you don't. income mobility is a myth outside of freak luck like wicked jump shots or whatever.
>>34562031I'm trying to help, not be mean. I think I did not put it in the correct wording that is acceptable.
>>34562233That's stubborn of you. What I type can be a lot better than what you expect if you gave it a chance. True, I'm not in your shoes like I should to help you out, but someone else who is in your shoes would appreciate it. Maybe on 4chan people hate nice things from someone who is overly enthusiastic, but in the real world, people do appreciate me, so I refuse to listen to what appears to be a bunch of powerless text on my screen. And I don't even believe you when you want to get out of your situation. To me it sounds like you just want attention from being in the situation like emos do when their parents got divorced.
>>34561786Move up. There are lots of opportunities to encounter or mingle with higher-class people - neutral spaces like school, college, gym, malls, etc
>>34561999Not really. Trailer trash childhood. Working pouring concrete and tying steel for a family owned company building culverts. Till one day a rough ass foreman told me to jump on that dozer and move it. I figured it out and moved the fucker. Then he had me grade fill and doing that I got better and pay was better and I was no longer sweating my ass off in a ditch. But the first thing I did was move away from shit neighbors and housing. My whole perspective changed not living around drugs and despair.
>>34561786Did you invest in your education and studies? That is one of the few ways to escape a lower class neighborhood. Just avoiding trouble won’t help you move up in the social ladder.
>>34561786I heard 'em chatter, "He's probably young, but I know that he's downStep on his neck as hard as your bullet-proof vestHe don't mind, he know we'll never respect the good kid, m.A.A.d. city"
>>34562956I did actually. I had a personal maths teacher because my father was friends with him. Maths was the only subject I struggled with, so I was aware that I have to try hard. I didn't skip a single maths class in the 12th grade, yet my exam results for maths were still shit, everything else was above 80%. My brain or peasant genes just refused to pick up on maths.
Bump
>>34563921yeah because you didn't practice enough, dumbass
Every single low class peasant I've met had the same problem. They've got low class families.
>>34567727How would you know how much I practiced? Fuck off. I hate faggots like you who come here to shit on others with your pointless remarks for no reason. You're not tough or cool.
>>34561999Poverty cope.
>>34561786>avoided the usual low class trashy things like smoking, excessive drinking/drugs, tattoos etc and no criminal recordWhat are you, a 19th century prohibition spinster? I'm from the upper middle class, and all that you described (except tattoos and criminal records) are widespread there. Not a mutt though. Thinking that well off people are no fun allowed puritan weirdoes is true poorfag cope.
>>34563921Your investment in that area gave you a poor return. Choose a different stock.
Proles ITT describing themselves as '''middle class'''
>>34561786>avoided the usual low class trashy things like smoking, excessive drinking/drugs, tattoos etc and no criminal recordMany such cases. As someone who does all that shit, I noticed that people tend to treat it as something special and take exceptional pride in it. That's the mistake - all of that is just a baseline / platform to work off of. Not fat, retarded, revolting, uneducated, etc. Great, you can be in the room, now what are you bringing to the table.>>34561909From what I have seen, you are pretty retarded, so I don't know if you know what "high middle class" is - these days it's over 200k. I still believe it's possible to grind your way there in the US, because it's basically the new "good slave" metric. Well, in the US, with a 120+ IQ* and no debilitating issues.>>34567505Anyway oppie, we need your whole life story if you want real help. The answer was to jump to tech somehow 10 years ago, very hard to know what the answer is now, but it's probably nursing or product owner / scrum master / business analyst today to get your foot in the door."Moving up" always involves a shitton of risk. You basically get good and comfy (as comfy as a 12-hr a day slave job can be) and then make a move (which means interviews on your vacation days), etc. A lot of the time you can actually switch for a worse job if you fuck up a little.But yea, middle class is possible, past that, not so much without luck/talent/etc.
>>34568707>Anyway oppie, we need your whole life story if you want real help.There’s not much to say. The usual divorced parents and no money because of my father’s bad financial decisions. Life got better when I was around 13, because that’s when we finally had money for food again, and the electricity and internet stopped getting cut off.Tried different things before going into trade school and finishing something I didn't care about. Now working at a factory with 12h shifts, which isn't too bad compared to the last factory I was at. I just don't want to be 40 and still be at the same factory. That's a depressing thought.
