He's rich in obscure facts, though.
To answer OP--I think most of my therapists, with the exception of DBC, were around the same socioeconomic class I was raised in and might still qualify as a member of. No. 2 offhandedly referred to her children's nanny a few times. No. 1 claimed she was poor, not mentioning she had just sold her house for almost a million dollars.
So it hasn't been an issue for me but I think it's pretty legitimate to feel that way. Financial security gives you a totally different way of looking at the world--I had some financial concerns last year, recovering now, and it was impressive how insecure I suddenly felt about
everything. Even though it's okay now, I still worry.
Argo--just tell 'em you do dishes by hand because of your concern for the environment. There's more than one way to make a beaver eat fish.
