[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if it’s me being a cheap Asian, but I consider myself UMC ($300k) and barely do any of the things listed on this thread. Vacation home? Fancy private schools? Luxe travel with young kids? HA. About the only thing I did was buy a beautiful home in a pricey suburb and save aggressively to pay for college and a nest egg.[/quote]

Agree.

We have HHI of just above 300K.

We live in a smaller house in a good close-in neighborhood with good public schools.

Kids have activities, camps and sports, but are not overscheduled.

Weekly housecleaners, occasional maid who helps with ironing and cooking.

We travel three times a year as a family (once or twice internationally).

I also agree. The ponies and horseback riding and vacation homes is an UC thing, not a 300k UMC thing. We have to pinch every penny to save for college and retirement.

We drive Toyotas.

No country clubs, ponies, nannies, vacation homes with our income. Many would consider it a UMC income.

I think income is just one of class components (education, values, pastime, friends/associations are other components).[/quote][/quote]
