[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see upper class as something to aspire t.  Rather as something to avoid.

There are plenty of negative characteristics associated with upper class.[/quote]

Plebe attitude.

I was born middle class, am now upper middle class, but not threatened by the upper class as you seem to be. How do you avoid being upper class? just earn less?[/quote]

Class is much more complex than income.  You are still middle class.[/quote]

Most people are unware of the complexities of classes above them and probably have never read Paul Fussell's Class.

Its a bit outdated, but there are all sorts of mannerisms, clothing etc that various social classes actually possess (brands you have never heard of, or custom tailored) and what those who attempt to ape them actually possess (typical "expensive" brand names).

If you have a lot of money, but weren't attending a east coast boarding school, you won't be upper class, but if your children can because you made money, they will become upper class due to different behaviours.[/quote]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. We are talking upper middle class here. Not upper class. [/quote]
