[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once again, lots of people are conflating class with money, which itself is a very middle class way of looking at things.

UMC has a home theater; UC has a (live) theater subscription.

UMC has a power boat; UC has a sailboat.

UMC is terribly concerned with meeting the right people; UC already knows them. (Whether they like them is a whole 'nother matter.)

UMC has a freshly paved and sealed driveway. UC has washboarded gravel.

UMC children are William (never Will or Billy) and Charlotte (never Lottie or Char). UC children are Bungy, Lala, Chip/Trey/Quinn, and Roo.

UMC fly on A plane. UC fly on THE plane.

UMC kids learn golf from the club pro. UC kids learn from their parents and grandparents.

UMC horse-crazy daughters buy $1200 boots for horse shows. UC daughters go fox hunting in their mom's old tweeds.[/quote]

You describe old money vs new money, not UMC vs UC.

Bill Gates is most certainly UC, but his horse riding daughter spends tons on the latest fashions.

Jeff Bezos owns a $250MM super yacht, not a sailboat.

None of their children are Bungy or Roo.

And both These examples are of rich UMC parents - so what’s your point exactly?  They were born MC or UMC were smart enough to be very successful and had a ton of luck along the way.  Simple.[/quote]
