[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many threads on strivers, is this trashy/low class, how to fit in with the upper crust.  And it transcends all topics....parenting, real estate (duh), schools, travel, food, clothes, careers.  Is this food trashy? OMG I can't believe you take your family XYZ on vacation, it's so poor/trashy/middle class.  The intense preoccupation with picking THE right school, neighborhood.  The anxiety of having average kids (no AAP, average colleges, just ok in sports).  Is DCUM just a microcosm of upper middle class people's intense anxiety over class and falling out of said class?   Is it because DMV is a place of strivers and DCUM is a classist cesspool? Or if we dig deeper, are people just panicking that their kids will not have the same opportunities?[/quote]

A little of this and a little of that.  This area is filled with people right in that top 3-8% of US HHI that are treading water and working hard not to go under.  And the reality is that a lot of the kids will have to work harder for fewer opportunities.

If you are in the top 10% and treading water, it's best for everyone if you just drown.[/quote]
