[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMC and UC are very different.  I’m surprised this is a combined thread.

UMC is basically a glorified MC where the only extra is some travel and maybe maid/lawn service.

UC is obviously much different.[/quote]

Yes and no. I mean I understand why I’ll never be UC by birth. But why is $4 million a year glorified MC? The lifestyle and knowledge it provides will never be MC. It’s Upper Upper Middle which is different than basic Upper Middle.

Im curious if anyone is truly UC in here. Like over $8million in the bank, net worth. And what your kids are during corona. [/quote]

UC means your income does not come from your salary.  You may never work a day in your life and you'd still be extremely comfortable. And your family's social standing gives you access to lots of good stuff.  If your comfortable living comes from your salary, no matter how high, you're not UC.

I think this is right. The true marker of UC is that you don’t actually have to work for a living. [/quote]
