[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our area, those who joined clubs are the classic striver types, always name dropping, always upgrading their cars and homes and vacations. I can’t think of anything I’d like to do less than join a club where all these people congregate. [/quote]

I doubt that there are many members at my club whose income is below seven figures.  That is really what is needed to support a membership.  Why?  Because quite a number belong to more than one club, have a second home (some a third), and travel a fair amount.  They are not upgrading things -- they just buy what they want.  They also do not name drop.

I have noticed a trend though.  In the past you would see lawyers, doctors, execs, as members.  In the DC area -- the big lobbyists as well.  And of course their adult kids who held similar jobs.  Over the last few years there are a lot more younger people joining with lots of family money.  Some have high paaying jobs, while others have modest jobs but the common fact is that there is a lot of family generational money out there.[/quote]
