Actually, penski's lower than working class. Dammit. He is rich, though.
I grew up in a council house and had more than one xmas when 'Santa can't make it this year....' I've been poor...I've been free-school-meals-and-putting-on-two-layers-of-clothing-at-bedtime-because-we-can't-afford-heating poor.
But I have worked my fat ass off so that I can enjoy a decent quality of life.
I'm not 'rich' (in the could-stop-working-tomorrow sense of the term) but I don't have to worry about money for rent or bills and can satisfy my gadget urge whenever it pops up...Things will be getting a lot easier over the next few months too.
**** anyone who thinks my tattoos make me scum or 'unable to rise above working class'. **** them.
