my family is upper middle class in Connecticut and used to have a lot more money. if the recession hadn't happen and my dad stayed at the company he used to work for, we'd be rolling in dough right now. as it stands he still makes an enormous amount of money, but we're deep in debt with the government and that's where all of our money is going.
my friend's dad is the CEO of Morgan Stanley though, and when he was seventeen his net worth is like 35 million at age eighteen.
