My girlfriend is really defensive about how this doesn't make her family rich.

DA

Depends on what else they forego to have those vacations, I guess. If they forego nothing at all, they're rich.

I'd agree with that but I'm not sure about her family's situation. Their professions don't scream wealth but then there are things like this that make me wonder.

DA

I'd also argue that it depends on where you live and where the vacations are. For example, someone in Europe has a much easier time visiting other countries thank say... Someone in north america.

"Rich" always seems to be this sliding scale that many people aspire to, but no matter how high you climb, the answer is always "No, I'm not rich" because there's always somebody richer than you.

And what's "rich" will also be driven somewhat by the community standards where you live.

But I think the term "upper middle class" is stretched to the breaking point by many a rich person.

Rich is pretty circumstantial, too. I mean, you can buy a big house probably means well off, but I think the key is, is it easy for you to make that purchase. If you've been saving and budgeting and skipped out on other things to be able to afford the big house, you're probably not rich. If the big house wasn't a financial strain, then you might be. I think upper-middle class is not rich, but upper-class is. Granted, lots of upper class people may call themselves upper-middle class, but after all, most people are not rich.

AYRT. A lot of it does come down to perception, but this "Granted, lots of upper class people may call themselves upper-middle class" is what I've seen a lot of: People who are "rich" at least by the standards of the community they live in who will call themselves "upper middle class" but who balk at the terms "upper class" or "rich".

It's interesting, because I think there are more people who would say "I'm beautiful" than would say "I'm rich", but both are privileged positions.

I am in the weird position of having a job that takes me abroad often (with vacation-esque downtime) while making less than $10,000 a year. I feel rich when I travel, but rent is a struggle.

I think that might depend on how they are doing it. Someone who leaves the country to visit (and stay with) family on a yearly basis may not rich. If they can afford the time off and the cost of the flight they aren't poor, but they don't have to be rich...
