Rich people travel too much
It's all they have left to feel fulfilled. As a lower middle class dude that will work until the day I die: I dream of a year or two I can just travel when I'm in my 60s. But I'll probably bail my neice and nephew out of some scam they fell for while paying off some scam my mother fell for on a deep dementia dive on Instagram.
What does middle class even mean? If you can't afford to travel wouldn't that put you firmly within the working class bracket?
May be an American thing, or local. I've seen middle class as working class.
I also dropped out of college before I could get class dynamics beaten into me. Where I'm from you're white collar, blue collar, or no collar.
I wish you this dream travel and both to solve the financial issues. Even if would you travel the whole Asia or Africa in the two-year trip, you would not produce so much pollution as really rich people who have 'city breaks' every weekend by plane, or have 8 holiday a year. I personally know just middle class ladies traveling in group 4 times a year on holiday.
That's what my slightly older sister does. She got into the middle middle class scheme when it existed. She pretended she loved a union electrician and they shared a couple children.
