False. Middle class is 50k a year combined household income. If upper middle class, THEN it’s true.

Cr, baller weddings are for insecure women who have something to prove to their “friends” (i.e. people they secretly look down on and don’t actually like that much)

So at what level do you expect them (particularly brides parents) to pay for the wedding? I always thought it was a 1 or the other kinda thing. Has that changed?

The bride’s family typically pays for most of the wedding. Groom’s family just lays for groom’s necessities and honeymoon. Extenuating circumstances notwithstanding.

Completely and utterly false.

You are UMC at a minimum if your parents are "helping" you with a downpayment, aka giving you tons of free money. I certainly haven't gotten anything.

I guess it a class thing. Like they had prole values and not matter the money they saved...whereas umc people born that way and maintain it have certain values like a bootstrap mentality with kids. Which is fine generally but not really reflecting what boomers did to the landscape.

thinking about it a bit more, i can see a UMC parent thinking "i gave tim everything he needed to be successful, at least successful enough to save a down payment on a house" and them actually being 100% right and justified in feeling that way whereas a working class parent may think "eh, he didn't have it too easy growing up. now i have a little i can give it." i know that's how my dad viewed it and i'm sure my FIL thinks the same way.

$28k or whatever it is now will be exempt for the year.

The rest could go under lifetime exemption from gift/inheritance tax.

Also, gift tax is paid by the giver.

the lifetime exemption is something like 5 million dollars. most of the stingy bastards here will never have to worry about it.
