From What Privilege Do You Have?, based on an exercise about class and privilege developed by Will Barratt, Meagan Cahill, Angie Carlen, Minnette Huck, Drew Lurker, Stacy Ploskonka at Illinois State University. If you participate in this blog game, they ask that you PLEASE acknowledge their copyright.
The instructions are to bold the true statements. Different people have done different ways; I chose italics for semi-true.
( On to the questions )
In conclusion, my family's mentally upper-middle class, financially...let's not go there. Most of this has to do with immigrating to the US. Money-wise, the move was a crappy, crappy idea. Many of my answers also have more to do with mindset than finances. By my parents' standards, education comes first. I would probably have had math tutors and SAT prep if we were even poorer.
