You’re right, yuppie-ness is a state of mind. I most certainly am not one.

Yes Joe, you are a yuppie, even if you are renting.

It's mostly a state of mind, rather than an address or even a bank account balance.

And Nic, yes you are now a huge yuppie. But nice car. :)

Dang.. I was kind of suspecting that, but Audi was the only name coming to mind.

I think that I’m officially a Yuppie because I live in PV, but that might not count because I’m renting. I’ll have to ask the Yuppie control commission to see if I qualify.

Audi isn’t my yuppie friend. It’s another guy.

But yes, I shall now refer to you all as “the poor.” And vote Republican. Or not.

I don’t think you can call Audi your yuppie friend anymore. I’m pretty sure having an Acura TL plants you firmly in yuppieville. From now on he shall just be your friend, and all others will be known as your poor friends :)
