Better to be a Poor Kennedy....


 Hello and Welcome!


 I have an expression, "Better to be a Poor Kennedy than a wealthy Trump". The word Trump can be interchanged with anyone who has wealth without class. Just as one can possess wealth without class, one can possess class without wealth. One can also feel rich and experience luxury without wealth. It may be in the minute details surrounding your dwelling or just knowing how to get what you want for cheaper. There are many ways to go about this selective lifestyle. "Selective" refers to the conscious effort you put into making your existence better. It takes some time and some energy and compromise. I will teach you how I have done it and you can play around with your own techniques.

Class, Quality, Compromise


There are many interpretations of class. In 2 c. Merriam Webster defines class as "high quality :  elegance a hotel with class"


 There are a few rules of thumb to this lifestyle. 

1. Quality vs. Price 
(to a certain extent) 
2. Mend and make due 
(to a certain extent)
3. Compromise 
4. Project Class 

If you were to find it in the dictionary it may look something like this: 


Poor Kennedy
noun
1. A person of limited means with an eye for luxury 
2. A person of limited means who is thrifty but discerning
adjective
1. A type of lifestyle based on having luxury on a budget

 I have noticed that middle class can be somewhat of an insult to a LOT of people. In the past few decades the middle class has nearly become a notion of the past thus making it harder to identify and strengthen the connotation of the words "middle class". To some it seems synonymous with poverty. To others it has a "limiting sound". When questioned about her thoughts on the feeling of the words a lady responded, "It sounds like I have to coupon. I don't want my wealthy friends thinking I'm couponing !" Now I cannot help but speculate as to why this is so bad. Saving money is like a jab at The Man isn't it? Isn't is normal for Americans to get really excited about sales? (ie: Black friggin Friday?) (Just looking at this chart makes an income of $41,000 for a family of three seem incredibly difficult!) One side finds middle class to be an insult. The other side finds middle class to be a joke. People work multiple jobs and still...
