[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't know how to do basic things like:

- change a tire
- change the oil in your car
- replace a light fixture

This might apply to UMC too.

I grew up poor and don’t know how to do any of those things. My brothers probably know. [/quote]

Same + I do not know any women who can do those things either.[/quote]

I grew up rich and I know how to change a tire, change the oil in my car, and replace a light fixture. I didn't HAVE to do any of those things growing up but before I went to college I knew how to do that plus cook (even though we had a cook so I didn't need to do it at home), do laundry (even though we had full-time help so I didn't have to do mine growing up), go grocery shopping (even though we had people who did it for us), etc. I learned how to scrub a toilet even though I still haven't done it (I've always had a cleaner).

I do think the distinction between old and new money is important. I grew up around old money but I've encountered new money since then and there are definitely differences. So while both are rich, they aren't the same. I also think geography plays a role, even between the old money crowds. [/quote]
