Aisling said:Making over $100,000 a year makes you upper class? This is SO not true. Our income is over $100,000 and I consider our family middle class. DH's father is a physician who makes a lot more than $100,000 a year, and is still middle class. Who came up with this? Class surely can't be determined by income, as maybe it could have been 100 years ago. Look at the Beverly Hillbillies! Are they upper class? I'd say no!
I guess I think of the movie Titanic when I think of class...Rose was actually broke, but she was still upper class in my mind.
If Rose was considered poverty class, I don't she would have been given the royal treatment and respect which first-class passengers obviously got. Her poverty was a secret, that only she and her mother knew. If she were considered gentile poverty class, why would a newly rich man want to take a wife from that state of social inferiority? Tell me.lease, I love that movie! OMG it seems like that movie has been on so many times lately, I have to stop watching it!DVC Sadie said:Rose was considered in the genteel poverty class who had no choice (parents) but to wed a newly rich young man to infuse money into Roses family. The man Rose was going to marry was buying his way into what was once considered the upper class benefiting both families. Believe it or not that still happens today but no one discusses it openly.
