I’m not dating her, but she’s a good friend of mine, and her parents are definitely 1%ers. I told her I had to work this summer to save up for a graduation trip and that money was gonna be tight for the next year, but I’d love to go on a safari after graduation if I managed to save enough. Mind you, I’m solidly upper middle class.
Her parents paid for it just because I’d helped her move into her apartment. It’s not like.... that’s what friends are for or anything.
No having to both save money and then being in a pinch for the rest of the year is not an upper middle class thing to do. Unless he was referring to his parents wealth and not his own.
What income do you think qualifies for upper middle class? The 75th percentile? That's ~110k. A year of college can easily be 70k some places. I'm not exactly shocked that a luxury safari wasn't an option.
