[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it meant highly educated and well-traveled, knowledgeable about the arts, but not wealthy. I think this describes a lot of people in academia, particularly in the humanities.[/quote]

This is how the OP would like to view themselves. However, it actually just means that in addition to being poor, they are also insufferable and pretentious a-holes.[/quote]

The air of moral superiority that people OP is describing is a huge turnoff.[/quote]
No I think you guys are getting a bit defensive. I get what OP is saying. I am not sure I would have described it as culturally rich. I think this points to the fact that social class is more than just income. There are lots of people who are well educated but not wealthy or even UMC when looking at only income.  DCUM makes it seem that money automatically follows being smart or having attained high levels of education.  [/quote]

I can think of friends of a variety of races who spend a lot on cultural travel, particularly, who think it's better to spend money on that than on saving for their kids' college or their own retirement. It's not how I roll, but I can see their point in a way I can't relate to wanting nice cars or a huge wardrobe. [/quote]
