I spent yesterday at work noticing how many of my patients have had teeth pulled after a 40ish man made an offhanded comment about his dentist remarking in surprise that he still had all 32. Yeah... it trended by clothing quality and repair/cleanliness and state vs private insurance. I remember my dad gettung dentires in his 40s but never new anyone else who had visibly missing teeth... and once he got the full set replaced, my dads weren't visobly missing anymore either...
Not much directly on topic to say except that I was raised to believe that middle class started above any need based government subsidies and well below the parents didn't need to work anymore.... so foodstamps and middlr class don't fit together in my mental scheme. Are you willing to help me understand where you put the lower end of middle class?
I always had friends who were less economically stable than my family. But it didnt affect me much because I didn't have a generous allowance, so we were always doing free studf together and I thought that was just being kids. I did get forbidden to see one of my friends by my grandmother because she was "not like us". My parents did not enforce that ban.
