i'd never realized just how much a person's social class can affect their family until becoming a sociology major. i dug deep into what the different classes really are. i dug even deeper to consider stratification.
reality: raising a family in our economy is pretty difficult. yeah, i just realized this. don't judge me.
BUT... what is really needed to raise a family in this day and time?
i think so often we are caught up in materialistic necessities. we want a high paying job, big home, 4 car garage (plus some nice cars to go inside), big backyard (a swimming pool and hot tub wouldn't hurt), nice furnishing, monstrous kitchen... the list can go on. lets get some things straight though of what is necessary: job, home, car, and a family that will occupy these materials.
social class can be a touchy topic. it is this way because of how the classes are viewed by others and those within the same class.
what i'm beginning to see as very important is that you just do the best you can do. but what's important is to not neglect the family while on the endeavor.
