" Father made up to 18k year". ( guessing you were kid in at least late 50s.?) in the 50s or early 60s that wasn't considered poor, not the silver spoon, but not poor by any means. Has nothing to do with respect. Different people have different outlook on what considered middle class vs the poor based on they're experiences.

Your wife knows what is like. But, still there was money for alcohol? Difference between no extra money than not carrying. Either way if was ruff and painful for her IMO.
Father retired in 1979 making 18K a year after working for the same company for 35 years, , far cry from the 50's or 60's.
