[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only helpful posts here seem to be from people who grew up LMC and are now UMC. So many others are just listing things that sound upper class, like "learn to downhill ski". It's all very "let them eat cake" when the answer should be "don't buy the most expensive thing just bc you can". [/quote]

People confuse UMC with WASPs. It's not the same thing. UMC values can be a lot of things. If you want your kids to act like WASPs that's a whole different question. (Hint: be alcoholic) [/quote]

Yes. They also confuse "upper middle class" (a socioeconomic term, referring to income and wealth) with "having class" which is completely different. Having class is a mentality and a category of behaviors and it can exist at most/all income levels. Plenty of people can (and DO) have an "upper middle class" income and zero class. I personally think we should remove the word "class" from MC/UMC terminology. We should instead refer to it as "lower middle income" "middle income" "upper middle income" etc. Class has nothing to do with this. [/quote]
