This is a good article, but to me, it illustrates well how the concept of a “middle class” has practically dissapeared in our culture. Is being “not rich” the same as being poor? The article doesn’t describe the childhood of a rich kid, but it doesn’t describe the childhood of somebody poor either. Perhaps this is an interesting consequence of the inequality we’re living in, we forget there’s actually an in-between that could be (perhaps?) a nice thing to also aspire for.
