[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full service CC's tend to be very expensive with golf, tennis, swim etc etc plus food minimums. Unless you really use it it's a waste of money. If a lot of your friends are members that's a good reason to join but again only if you really use it. Don't do a cost/benefit analysis (# rounds of golf etc) because the numbers will say no. [/quote]

If you pay for a pool for the summer throw that cost in.  You can throw gym cost in.  Tennis and then Golf.  25% of your eat out budget.  It makes it look a little better but certainly not cost effective.  I have been a member for almost 20 years.  Near our house.  Love it.  We use it.  If you will then it is great.

In terms of HHI.  I really don't see how a non-rich family could pull it off below 250k.  I was 350k when we joined but was almost 20 years ago.  [b]To fit into the lifestyle and be in the same conversations I would think we are talking 400k minimum. [/b] [/quote]

HHI $600+ and this mentality is why you couldn't pay me to join one.  Couldn't possibly imagine being stuck in a foursome with someone making $375k, what on earth would they have to talk about?!   :roll: [/quote]

375 and 600 don't live in the same world.  You would have lots to talk about but what you are probably not talking about is private school for multiple kids. 1 or more vacation homes.  Going on multiple expensive vacations a year.  The issue is not with the 600k talking to the 375k.  It is the 375k feeling comfortable in the conversation.  [/quote]

No one wants to talk to you about your vacation home or private school.  Read an effing book.[/quote]

We talk about which books we read on our fancy vacations, sometimes at vacation homes.... go figure. [/quote]

Which the lowly 375K families can also read on their regular vacations.  Hence the PP's point.[/quote]
