Both parents have graduate degrees

Nice house with *very* short commute (think Kalorama)

Private schooling and private sports/language/music/etc. lessons for kids. Get their kids involved with expensive sports (tennis, skiing, golf, horseback riding, sailing if you live in Maryland, etc.) from a young age.

You can tell a lot by the way a person eats and works out. Boutique exercise classes, slender physique, eats mainly "clean" locally sourced organic foods.[/quote]

DCUM has a very warped perception of how rich people live.

[b]You're thinking about broke WASPs. They try to make things last because: they're broke. The generational money they were relying on ran out in the last generation and they're too lazy to make some more on their own.[/b][/quote]
