Most of them don't want to know there's a huge scale of difference in emotional, mental and physical stress between working to survive (and being happy to be working at that) and working to maintain comfortable lifestyle. And they fiercely resent it when you point that out to them.

Thanks for the response. It was interesting to read. And good history--I'm still fairly new to the area, but I've got a pretty good feel for most of the North Seattle neighborhoods. I'm out biking through them all the time.
