[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sleep-away camp every summer, for at least a couple of weeks Expensive hobbies/sports - skiing, horseback lessons, sailing Car at 16 (my parents made me pay half with summer job money) House cleaner - ours was twice a month Parents hosted dinner parties, book clubs, wine tastings at our house Charity events - dinners, auctions, volunteer at the soup kitchen A big one: never talk about money. Don't say how much something cost, whether you got it on sale, or most of the time even WHERE you got it (cause commenting that a shirt was from Nordstrom was seen as flaunting). This was hammered into me from the time I knew how to talk.[/quote] That's almost correct. Never talk about long money: trusts, investments, etc. But UMC people love a good deal. Example getting a complement on your Missoni scarf, and saying thanks it's from their target collaboration[/quote]
