Are you wealthier or less well off than your local community?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

In terms of actual amount of money passing through my family's hands, we're about on par with our neighborhood, which is one of three 'nice' areas in an otherwise struggling town. I'd say our class status is significantly higher, though, because most of our money comes from ROI on inherited assets (RIP my grandfather, lean FF) rather than from wages or salaries. (I know, I know, literally champagne socialist and massive HP.)

I'm taking a course next semester called 'Vocation, Work, and Faith', in which I'm hoping to clarify my personal feelings and theological beliefs about going to work versus adapting to a 'leisure class' lifestyle (and leaving the jobs for those who need them more; my disabilities make this option way more attractive than it would otherwise be to me) and how I feel about those options for myself. The second option wouldn't make me a golfing jet-setter but it would enable me to maintain a cosmetically middle-class lifestyle indefinitely.

Do you volunteer to help the poor?

Not as much as I want to or should. I've been told I'm unusually generous to panhandlers but that isn't really the same thing or an adequate substitute.
