Ep 45 - We Used Middle Class Mortgage Helpers in the 1970's!
Over the years, we’ve always had people living with us. Some were friends…others were relatives…and some complete strangers.
We used to call them boarders. Today, we call them mortgage helpers.
I now realize that I grew up in a working class family…that was living the illusion of a middle class life…because of boarders.
The key was creating the illusion. Then…and now.
Middle class reality in those days was often quite different, at least it was for me. …as I’m sure my life growing up was WAY different than most people.
It feels like therapy and my kids will be horrified, so I’m going to get into it…on this…episode 45…of Middle Class Over.
