Grew up in the ghetto of the US.

Would watch Fresh Prince and Family Matters and like "WOW look at that. Their house is so pristine. Everything looks new. Everyone has their own room. People sit at a dining table."

My house was dark, smelled funny, full of random junk and we'd have mattresses on the floor to fit a large family.

All my hood friends had the same experience. I had friends whose bedroom also their living rooms.

Now I have friends who have a lot of money. 6 figure incomes and everything. Their house is slightly better looking, but that's about it. Still full of stuff. Messy if you surprise them on a off day.

Average American is no longer the standard for quality living.
