[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up UMC, and for me and my friends it was: - Expensive sports (think horseback riding) - Private school (K-12), followed by mostly private college with some top state schools thrown in - Vacation houses - Travel, lots of it, including internationally (no weeks in the Outer Banks every summer) - Sleepaway camps all over the country and world - Lots of parties, like pretty fabulous birthday parties and sleepovers with really cool activities - Tons of toys (we didn't have gadgets like Apple watched back then but I'd think something like that is probably in now) - Great clothes (I'm a girl so maybe I cared about this more than boys would) - Cars at 16[/quote] I don’t think this is UMC. Maybe not Forbes top 100 in wealth, but probably top 5%[/quote] The top 5% household income is about $160,000 per year in the US. I don’t think this lifestyle is attainable on that. [/quote]
