Hi Aletha,

I have been personally dealing with child abuse and neglect for most of  
  my life.  An aspiration to be in the middle class and to stay there is  
laudable, in my view. It  is a perch of safety. So perhaps we should  
separate middle class financial attributes from some other middle class  
attributes.  What are you referring to?

Thanks.

Andrea
