[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle class, never had a passport, never left the country.
Rich, takes vacations overseas.[/quote]

It's not travel that distinguishes you as MC, UMC or UC, it's the [i]way[/i] you do it.  When the wealthy travel they stay in their bubble the whole time.  I travelled extensively in college and did as many study abroad programs as possible. I've also backpacked across several continents and lived overseas.  My parents were solidly middle class yet I prioritized travel, worked for my money, and spent frugally.  I travelled to some destitute places.  I saw true poverty, starvation, physical suffering, and other things we are typically insulated from here in our MC/UMC/UC American comfort zone.  I've also done more vacation type overseas travel, but the older I get the more disenchanted I am with it, and I tend to spend more vacation time meeting up with family and friends than focusing on a specific location.[/quote]

Your backpacking description as a student couldn't be more upper middle class than if you tried![/quote]
