[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm UMC because of my SES, particularly my educational level, not because of my income or net worth.[/quote]

Grey Gardens types. You see these adjunct professors loading up their 30-year-old Volvos and Saabs outside of Trader Joe's. They don't have a pot to piss in, but they're desperate to think of themselves as UMC. [/quote]

I'm a lawyer, third generation. Both my parents, and 3 of my 4 grandparents, graduated from college. I'm married to another lawyer. My husband and I, and all of our children, attended or attend top universities.  We haven't been farmers for four generations. We do have a pot to piss in - about $7.5 million net worth, just over $400,000 in HHI - but the money is not the point.[/quote]

You are both right.

UMC is not a strict definition. Some people think of the UMC as those with professional jobs that require education and expertise. Some people think of it as strictly money.

The money is not the point. But let's be real. If you don't have the money, you are just poor. Adjunct professors are a great example of this. [/quote]
