[SR28440]

My boyfriend, upon seeing my parents’ neighborhood for the first time (which is a couple of notches below upper middle class), made a few biting remarks. I was surprised because he’s normally very open-minded. He comes from a very poor neighborhood and characterized upper middle class neighborhoods as places where nothing goes wrong and everything anyone wants gets handed to them on a silver platter. I told him that in my experience, this wasn’t true. I think he just felt envious and a little bitter about not being as financially privileged. However, we are both annoyed by many of the ostentatious staples of the upper middle class (the SUV/cell phone combo) and think that their leming-like conspicuous consumerism is pretty gimpy.
