[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend and her (HS educated only) started a PORTA POTTY business. They make at least double what my DH and I make (doctorate and MBA- and both in high paying fields)

People have no clue.

It doesn't matter how much money they make, they still have a disgusting job and no education, which was the whole point.

Those people will never, ever fit in with other UMC/UC people. They have absolutely nothing in common with anyone else in that income strata beyond HHI. On the other hand, a couple with advanced degrees, even if they are literally unemployed, would still have many, many things in common with well-off people, because they shared so many of the same life experiences (private schools, top tier colleges, postgrad experiences, etc.). Whereas the other couple literally shovels sh!t all day. They'll never be respected, they'll never be seen as a leer, as an equal, because they aren't. They're just poorly educated trash with money.    [/quote]

This might sound like a lie but it is absolutely the truth. I am blue-collar and dating a woman literally worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This woman is friends with world leaders and even royalty. We get along fantastically and have been dating for a while over a year.   We are both in our 40s and previously married.   Her world experience is amazing. By the time she was in college and she had already been in just about every country you can think of and grew up at the highest levels of society. I grew up as an army brat before entering the military and then proceeding to my current profession.   I get along with her friends fantastically and she gets along with mine as well.  Yes I’m going to marry more dinner parties that I would have never been invited to before but it is not that big of an adjustment to learn how to fit in.   It’s actually quite nice,  I have learned so much from her but she has also learned much from me. She fits in in my circles as well.   One thing I have learned is that most people in genuine high society values the individual and their  accomplishments not what they make or what they do for a living. [/quote]
