I'm educated, white, and have pretty hair and a fairly awesome job.
But I also live in a tiny apartment that is neat only out of necessity, and poorly decorated, and wear jeans and a T-shirt every single day. And I never wear high heels.

Moderately educated (I have a BA), white. DH did not go to college, but was in the Army. "Meh" job. Tiny apartment. Ikea, Target, hand-me-down, and thrift store furniture. No kids. One dog, one cat.

I'm barely literate, have a great job that I don't really need, can pass for anything. Want me to be Persian? Sure! Merci youjaan. Mexicana? ole! Our house looks like a daycare but i don't care. It's not like it's forever. I don't mind living in small spaces. In fact I pride myself on walking through those ikea 234sf 4bd2ba homes and stealing every space saving iddear.

I'm white.
I'm a fucking hippie. I garden a lot and have way too many plants in my house. I live in Rainbow flip flops. My house is full of insane artwork and ridiculous tchotchkes. My hair's ok. I'm smart, but not overly educated. And I don't own a simple human trashcan. sadtrombone.com/
ETA: oh oh and I have ten tattoos and plan on getting quite a few more.

Educated, white, just bought my first pair of Dockers. I have no tats, and my only unusual body mods have been temporary. I am indeed trying to teach my kid sign language, but she also tries to grab and throw her dirty diapers. H and I fight, and sometimes there is yelling. About once every other week, I find bird shit in my hair. I swear a lot less IRL.

I am educated (could always go further, though), white, and a mom. I work part time but want to go back to full time. J has a business degree and owns a company. We own a townhouse and are building a house on a 3 acre lot. I think he may propose Sunday night at my birthday dinner. I try to keep the house as clean as I can, but sometime I just DGAF.
I'm 32, white, educated, liberal, live in a tidy house* in suburbia, communicate easily with my husband (most of the time), have well-behaved children** (most of the time), pay off our credit cards monthly (for real).
* Said house is still half-filled with hand-me-down furniture, and the lawn only looks well-manicured like twice a year.
** Said children do not know all of their letters yet.

Im a SAHM and H and I have a very loving relationship.
I like to dress nice and look put together but lately I'm in leggings, any top that fits and yesterday's makeup.
My house is charming but old and I keep it neat and tidy but it requires lots of effort with a toddler. This pregnancy has made me OCD about it- it's like I can't help it.

I forgot to add that I absolutely 100% pay my Amex off every month. But not because you people told me too. It's just that I don't carry cash. Ever. And ray put it in my head that people can steal your ATM pin at gas stations, etc. so walla. Amex it.
I'm like Wilma flintstone as she and Betty rubble run out the door waving their cc's. CHAAAAARGE IT,
Educated, great job, nice house, decent decor, good hair most days, good fashion sense, like to think I have my shit together (at least most people think I do, sometimes I wonder though)
Lol. I do the same thing with my MasterCard because I like getting points. It was pretty sad when I went to redeem 15,000 points only to realize that I spent $15,000 just to redeem a fucking $150 gift card.
Educated (JD), white, tattoo, I have a house with a big yard in the burbs. I do have a pretty awesome job but am not rich. Of course my child is amazingly brilliant and well behaved. (The well behaved part is true at least)
I'm not a liberal or fashionable. My house is small and messy and I have sucky hair. I am not socially awkward.

Mine is even sadder. It's Delta airlines points. Which is so fucking dumb as we pretty fly southwest exclusively. At least ray gets 150 target gift cards monthly

I do not smoke or have tattoos, ANGELAA!
I said smoke when you drink. I have met many nasties (hahaha autocorrect! It stays!) out for drinks. They ALL smoke when they drink.

The only reason I don't do this is because I fucking love smoking so much that I wouldn't be able to control myself.
