[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love DCUM but one thing I will never understand is the fixation on UMC. Specifically UMC. Not the upper class, not even the uber wealthy. Just UMC. It's so highly specific and makes me wonder who is walking around classifying people by social class every day.[/quote]

I don't think it's an obsession, I think it's just the biggest demographic on here. People who have too much income/wealth to be considered middle class, but who are not wealthy enough to just not work or to just pursue passion projects and non-profit work because the trust takes care of everything else. Tons of dual-income white collar professional couples who have lots of money but not enough to just stop caring about money.

And I think people on here, who are mostly UMC, like to talk about the UMC a lot because (as several posters on this specific thread have noted) they don't feel comfortable with their class status. They fear that a job loss or a bad choice could drop them down in into the MC, and they hope/believe/fantasize that with enough work and strategic moves, they or their kids could become UC. They are probably actually wrong about both, for the most part. But they feel uncomfortable nevertheless. They feel caught in the middle.

Which is probably why they are so rude! They are preoccupied with their class status and lack the mental bandwidth to just say hello, remember the name of little Larla's mom who their kid has been going to school with since preschool, and make 90 seconds of small talk.[/quote]
