[quote=Anonymous][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]

Yea, brought up middle class, now upper middle class as well. I think there is something wrong when you stop aspiring to better yourself, worse still if you manufacture an excuse for your present situation to being superior on moral basis. [/quote]

Surprise! You're both still middle-class. Class is more than just HHI. It's generational. [/quote]

Very interesting. I think you can attain upper middle class status without being born into it. Is this why people making $300k a year argue that they're just "middle class"? I don't think that's true. Compared to the vast majority of the country they're on a different level. It may not be "upper class" but it's definitely not "middle class."[/quote]

"The Middle Class

The next rung on the ladder is the middle class, which includes about 34 percent of the population. The members of the middle class earn their money by working at what could be called professional jobs. They probably have college educations, or at least have attended college. These people are managers, doctors, lawyers, professors, and teachers. They rarely wear uniforms, although some might wear distinctive clothing, such as a physician’s white coat. They are often referred to as the white-collar class, referring to the tendency of many middle-class men to wear suits with a white shirt to work."[/quote]
