[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MC means living on a budget and considering costs for everything, even ice cream. It's good for kids to learn these lessons that most UMC will not learn. Almost every UC kid will definitely not learn comparing grocery costs.[/quote]

And that is the point isn't it.  That is a part of the American Dream.  Not that you go from rags to riches -- that was never the dream.  But you go from poor to lower mc in one generation and maybe to middle in the next.  UMC requires more of a push so it could take longer.  But from the UMC launching pad to UC.  If you are UC it would be odd to fall to poor in one generation.  You could have UMC the next generation and MC the next or they could work back up.  I grew up UMC.  My mother grew up poor; father did not.  I am currently UC.  My mother asks me all the time how much things cost here at the grocery store or otherwise.  I have no idea because I have not looked at prices at the grocery store my whole post-college/post grad life.  It's a good thing that kids do not need to know that not a bad thing/[/quote]
