[quote=Anonymous]I think the biggest thing about being UC vs UMC is the time that you have as an UC person and the amount of people you know.

My family has been business owners for 200+ years and thus know many families and has connections everywhere. Life is so much simpler when you can ask your family friend who's a council member or someone who works for your family office a question. Then it's all boarding schools in the north east and house parties at second homes or staying with friends or inviting friends to a vacation house which allows it. You have a few UMC people that may join you on a trip but they'll never be UC because their family  didn't come from generational wealth.

As for time, you can just travel and do what you want with no concept really of timing. I married someone who's UMC and they, and their family is always stressed about PTO, insurance, bonus, errands on the weekends etc. When you have a plane you can just get up and go. For example you have a job and may hide your wealth but I didn't care about PTO and would just take leave as I wanted since I wasn't too concerned about being promoted or let go because I had more coming in from a trust that an UMC salary.

Also, partner was shocked about how deep connections are amongst different races when UC. It's a lot more diverse than you think at the top with quite a bit of UC black families (which surprisingly are dominated by families from the Caribbean).[/quote]
