If you'll allow, another story. I grew up in a small town with a prestigious private school. I was no where near rich enough to attend. However there were other "townies" with parents as doctors or dentists that could afford to attend. Even though they were rich by small town standards they were seen as poor by the students with parents that were even wealthier. So perhaps even when you are rich, you can still feel poor. So I think you are right, maybe it's better to be the richest in the middle class neighbourhood, then the poorest in the upper class neighbourhood.
