My SP/SO father is a workaholic (being E3 probably strengthens that tendency)...
Personally, I have recently been thinking about social class, where my family fits into; researched what cross-class marriages are like; how I can achieve the status that I desire without having to be a workaholic... >_<
(Being
PoLR and SP blindspot, I naturally refrain from focusing on productivity and making money through that. The opposite to my LSE father, who basically chose a job with which he thought he could make the most amount of money with.)
So yes, as an SO lead I am concerned with Status – money itself is rather meaningless to me, but it can help with status stuff...
I find showing off status is more related to the Aristocracy of a type. Even though I am an Aristocratic type and value "not looking cheap", I've learned to play down my good living standards to some degree through the influence of my Democratic ESE mother, who was never a big "show-off" in that regard, even though she is also SO/SX. (She's had her moments, but they were short-lived.)
I am going way off-topic here...
But I have been wondering lately whether I should "show off" my status more, because I am tired of befriending people who are significantly lower in status, with whom I am not on the same wave-length because of that. I do not like to embarrass people; I feel like I would make certain people feel ashamed of their own status level, if they saw how I lived. So, I am prone to not inviting said people over, for the most part. I have done in it the past, with a few, but... I am growing more and more disinterested of doing so.
I have even thought about how I could meet more people who are on the same status level as myself, haha. Should I start wearing more prestige items, like certain pricey bags? Where should I go to meet those people?
I bet all of this sounds rather unimportant to non-SO leads... [/spoiler]
