I am always "low-class" in the money conversation - especially in Finland

The very thought is a non sequitur or should be. The very image of that brings up all sorts of indignities with it. I agree that they do not see it for what it is, it just is present, without question. Americans do not see foreigners as less than or greater than, especially in the business sector. In the public arena, whatever the conversation, there is no differentiation. Perhaps because most are merely one of two generations from being a foreigner themselves? Maybe.

You are anything but low-class in the money conversation. Finland or not. There are many that leave home here in the States with their nests already feathered, but, times are changing and debt is building and loans are being called in. The family bonus may become a thing of the past, with education still steadily rising, no such thing as free University here. Warning: Money talk ahead: my first child going to a private University: Tuition: For the students who were admitted in Fall 2021, the estimated 4-years is $330,030. 00 And they wonder why we are poor. Now, I have to add a few more kids to my payroll... But, you know what? Thank you to people very much like you and my parents, for showing me the way, everything will be paid for. So, while these conditioned people may look down their noses at you, just know that there are people like me that are very grateful that there are people like you in the world. Sharing and caring that others don't miss out.

Yes. Yes. I got off track and left the point a long time ago. But, thank you, from all the people that don't realize you even helped them.
