I think that plays into it, but my most of these people aren't wealthy. They were all working class. And the most left of these people that I still talk to is is probably better off than most of the rest off them. But he's also financially comfortable because he was union.
But I think of lot of those people forgot how bad struggling really is. Nostalgia clouds a lot of opinions. I still tell stories and laugh about some things I had to do when I was struggling, and they can kind of seem like fun stories now that it's over, and the older I get, the less i think about how much it actually sucked.
