Class vs. Classy

There are MANY (different) factors/elements that add up to what economic class you're in. A MAJOR factor is the class you grew up in. The wealth today in America is so unevenly spread out that people remain in the same class their whole life. Life is a struggle and never is easy, but changing classes isn't (easy) like taking a walk in the park. For some, money, jobs, and luxury comes easy. But for others its something they only dream of. When being wealthy, you have many privileges. For example, where they live, goes along with is this a good community where there is a great education for my children, the amount of stress/more opportunities in their lives goes with not really having to worry about the money being there for bills, day to day necessities, and their hobbies and being able to buy their way to the top when others have to work and earn their spot etc., "who you know"/"who your involved with"/their social network, is like the country clubs, and other rich/wealthy people who only know you because of your wealth. Personally, I don't think anything should be done to it. I feel that if someone needs money to be happy with themselves and their lives, then that's a bit upsetting. If your happy with yourself and surround yourself with people who love you and care for you for you, then money and success should NOT be on your mind and should NOT even be thinking about it.
