[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, upper-middle class incomes can buy an expanded range of life choices that still fall short of extravagance.

Wealthy incomes can buy solid gold toilet seats for private jets-- or at least occasionally charter private jets with gold plated toilet seats. There are lots of people in America who can do this.

get real- using private jet use for a 'rich' threshold is absurd in any context....[/quote]

Not in cities where such people are well represented. [/quote]

Yes- I think the above poster is quite sensible- the only way you are "rich" in the US is if you have access to private jet use. Anything below that is upper middle class at best, but more likely middle class. After all as it is rightly stated there is a major prevalence of private jet users in the DC metro area, anecdotally (based on my discussions with parents at Sidwell and Georgetown Day fundraisers) it really must be pushing at least 40% these days![/quote]
