Upper Middle Class ???

I wasn't sure if I was going to write about this, but I can't stop thinking about it and it's really upsetting so I think it deserves some attention on my blog.

We live in a wonderful neighborhood. I will be the first to admit there are some areas of our neighborhood that aren't as desirable as others, but this is the place that I call home and I love it.

Most people in the world would find my lifestyle handsome. We live in a lovely home of a little less than 2000 sq. ft., a 3-car garage and an inground heated pool. Now, we don't have the best features like granite countertops, stainless appliances or all tile floors, but those are things that we are going to work on adding as we can.

Anyway, I just heard someone call this neighborhood "the ghetto". This person lived here in this neighborhood for many years before building a million plus dollar home this year. Wow, all the sudden they are too good for this neighborhood - and they are dogging it. I would think they would have some allegience to the place. Guess not.

This is very upsetting for me. I don't think I will be able to speak to this person again (not that I ever really spoke to him anyway).

There are several others at my current place of employment who seem to think that this is not a nice place to live and when I listen to them speak I feel like my property value is dropping by the minute.

I LIVE HERE and I have to say that my neighbors are great... everyone takes care of their lawn and flower beds. The homes are kept neat and we're about 10 minutes from the beach!

That's why I have to stand up for myself!
