[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the posts. I'll be really honest. CC is prestigious and that's why we moved here. The schools are good, good location, it's pretty, but also I'm proud to say I live here.[/quote]

You are insecure.[/quote]

And vacuous. You’d be better off in Potomac. Quiet, spacious, convenient, much better schools than CC,AND prestigious [/quote]

No, I grew up in CC too and while I find the "I'd only live in X neighborhoods" person repulsive, he's my people and as a tribe we could never live in Potomac. I mean [b]I[/b] could, but I'm practically expatriated. Also I wouldn't live in Potomac actually, ew. [/quote]

A lot of people know what areas of their hometown are considered prestigious/cool/affluent/desirable etc. [b]If you’re UMC and grew up in Chevy Chase you wouldn’t want to move to Gaithersburg or some other far away suburb.[/b][/quote]

"Upper Middle Class" is just a term your parents taught you so you wouldn't be paralyzed by guilt. Don't worry, it happens to every child of Chevy Chase. "Mommy, are we rich?" 
"No, we're Upper Middle Class. We work very hard in school and at our jobs and we're very lucky, aren't we?" [/quote]

Actually, kids in neighborhoods like CC don't ask if they're rich.  They assume they're middle class because they're about average compared to most people they interact with, but there are always others that are a lot richer.  I didn't grow up in CC, but this is how I felt growing up and attending an exclusive private school.  Our family was average compared to our peers.  There were uber wealthy families and we were obviously aware of the poor.  However, our upbringing seemed perfectly average compared to everyone we interacted with, thus middle class.

I remember when my sister called me her freshman year at college and asked me if I knew there were people that actually took out loans for college.  It was pretty eye opening that maybe we weren't middle class after all. [/quote]

oh yeah, it sounds like you guys were fine. [/quote]
