Exactly. There is a difference between class and wealth. Personally, my parents are both doctors who invested in real estate and equities so income wise we're probably in the top 1% but if I tried to call us "upper class" my dad would probably slap me for being a brat. Both of my parents are immigrants who were pretty poor when they came to this country, so even though we lived in a nice neighborhood, there was no Abercrombie clothes, no luxury cars, no eating out, no golf, no country club, no Junior League, etc. The girls my age at my school were going to Camp Waldemar/Mystic and taking etiquette courses while I on the other hand took summer swim team and visited my family in the old country. To this day I don't know fancy dinner manners, and I'd rather try to learn Mandarin instead of make small talk with a dull twit. Actually PKT + DDD at A&M isn't so bad but at SMU, TCU, UT they can be so snobby I want to punch their teeth out. "Upper class" isn't all that it's cracked out to be. But seriously, tacky nouveau riche people make me want to pull my hair out too.
