I live in South America and classes here are, similar to Europe, not really tied to your money.

It's really funny: I grew up in a slum, but software now gives me as much money as politicians and senior executives of public companies.

In my first paying contract overseas, I went to the most expensive restaurant in my town.

Although I wore the same clothes and belonged to the same race, everybody was staring at me. The waitress would always reiterate the price of meals.

I actually felt pretty good.
