Abbywabby :
The middle class just works. And works and works.

Cass :
This is so true. I would say I'm middle class, and don't know how to be a villager. I would rather pay for services than have family or friends help because I don't like feeling like I owe anyone a favor

This was masterfully articulated

Also the middle class is very expansive, harder to find a shared identity

Caitlin :
This makes sense. Being in middle class, I’m always bartering in my mind what i should pay for service wise vs what I should do myself to save money

Id rather be lonely than go back to being poor again. It’s also impossible to be rich without having to give up your morals.

You did a great job explaining my space in life as a first generation degree holder. I grew up poor and used to community. Now that I’m no longer poor it’s so lonely and people don’t just … come together. It’s mind blowing.

This is the best sociology lesson I’ve heard in a while.

bibliophile Chas :
My mother taught me the village rule. We were middle class but was community with the "lower class". It's not like they begged, we never made them feel poor.

Community and a sense of belonging are the needs that constantly get overlooked/ forgotten

Unfortunately I’m the person who’d rather take an uber than ask for a ride, I think I’m just terrified of being a burden to ppl. But it’s also isolating being hyper independent

When I got a raise, I got hit with additional tax deductions! Went from 12% to 22%!!! Wtf! Always moving the needle and corporations only get taxed 20% 😩

My community oriented neighbors had to teach me to be a villager. It’s so much more joyful to cook, clean, and babysit etc for my neighbors and have that reciprocity. When my mom got sick I knew there were at least 10 people I could call for immediate loving support

Tara Lett :
I feel this one. I hired a 2x a week nanny and was alienated by the families in our community who thought that was too much. Yet they didn’t realize they actually had way more support than me with grandparents and siblings around helping them. I moved to a community with way more likeminded people and we have a village, we all trade playdates instead of childcare or we all bring our kids. I had to move far away from family to find this, but I’d say it was well worth it.

Lara O'lara :
agree ...I've been poor and now upper middle class and I value community so so much and I think I'm such a villager ,..but I know people feel so weird showing up, like when I ask for a drop off at the airport, its all excuses about schedule but I would do that for my friend , ...I offered to host regular meetups at mine because we have the space and ask people to bring a dish each and gosh the grumbles about how it's no right for the host to ask ...such a mismatch makes me sad ...I miss community
