66. uh-huh

I guess no one is trying to live a middle-class dream anymore - they're trying to live an upper-middle-class dream.

Used to be that the UMC was for doctors, some other professional types, and some "old money" families.

The problem is that people have delusional notions about what is a "proper" upper-middle-class life ("middle-class" isn't good enough anymore, I guess).

Many of the things these people want are either unnecessary or overpriced because their lifestyle is so lacking in self-reliance.
