What does your zip code say about you?

[Peppers90 NC]

Laptops and Lattes, lol.

ha thats what i got:

 

 

 

We're affluent, well-educated singles and partner couples who love life in the big city and hold professional positions in business, finance, legal, computer, and entertainment. Most of us don't own a home or a vehicle; we rent apartments close to amenities, and either work from home or walk, bike, and take public transportation to get around. We're cultivating our nest-eggs instead of feathering our nests, investing in mutual funds and contributing to our retirement plans. Physical fitness is a priority, so we exercise regularly, pay attention to nutrition, and buy organic food at high-end grocers. Regular expenses include nice clothes, traveling, and treating ourselves to lattes at Starbucks or treatments at spas. Laptops, cell phones, and iPads are always on so we can stay connected. Leisure time is filled with visiting art galleries and museums; attending the theater, opera, and rock concerts; reading books and newspapers electronically; and going to bars and clubs. - See more at: http://www.esri.com/data/esri_data/ziptapestry#sthash.CeYsyOou.dpuf

So everyone in my zip code is just like me?

retarded

To quote myself after re-reading.

We've achieved our corporate career goals and can now either consult or operate our own businesses.

Yea. I was lucky enough to sell my business at its peak.

We're married couples with older children or without children.

Absolutely not and never will be.

Every home maintenance chore in our lavish homes is handled by a variety of contracted services.

Nope. Used to have yard service though since I can't manage the lawn for poo.

We can indulge ourselves in personal services at upscale salons, spas, and fitness centers, and shop at high-end retailers for anything we desire.

I go to the Y, but nothing upscale. I buy more expensive clothes for longevity though.

We travel frequently, sparing no expense in taking luxury vacations or visiting our second homes in the US and overseas.

Never go on vacation, but do travel frequently for meetings.

Evenings and weekends are filled with opera, classical music concerts, charity dinners, and shopping.

I do go to operas and classical concerts occasionally. Shopping is 99% online.

We support the arts and other charities, read to expand our knowledge, and depend on the Internet, radio, and newspapers for information.

Not at all minus the Internet bit and I do the crossword.

Spending time with family and a small circle of close friends is a priority.

Not at all.

The summary does reflect the neighborhood perfectly though.

You are unique.

 

Keep telling yourself that.

We're well-educated, two income, goal-oriented professionals who prospered during the Great Recession. To support our upscale suburban lifestyle, both parents work, tolerating long hours and long commutes. Our schedules are complicated, balancing work and activities for our school-aged kids. Because we're all so busy, organization is critical to daily life. To save time, we contract for home maintenance services such as housekeeping and professional cleaners. We're experts on all of our devices. Financially savvy, we continue to invest wisely and grow our portfolios. Interest payments and dividends boost our household income. The comforts of home are priorities; we're proud of our picture-perfect homes, constantly upgrading, and will spend time and money on projects. Everyone in the family reads on tablets, e-readers, or smartphones, but prefer hard copies of epicurean, home, or sports magazines. - See more at: 

 

This certainly describes the neighborhood...except for the fact that there are a ton of SAHMs

You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake ... You are not your fuggin' khakis

Most of us are settled, married couples who own single family houses or mobile homes. You can find us in the more rural outskirts of metropolitan areas, mostly in the South. We work in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, health care, retail, and construction. We shop at Walmart and the convenience store; we look for bargains and aren't particularly concerned about brands or quality. Slow to adapt to technology, we get most of our information from satellite TV. We enjoy life in the country, so we fish; hunt; own pets; work on our vehicles; listen to country music; and read fishing, hunting, and home service magazines. For a treat, we'll eat out at a low-cost family restaurant or a drive-in.

 

Lets see, just wrong.  I own my house, live in the South and the country, work in Ag, shop at Walmart because that's about all I have and I work on my stuff because why wouldn't?

 

Don't have a family, don't do all that fancy eating, don't read much else other then sports stuff, don't listen to new country, have a pet, hunt, fish, or have satellite TV.  I know technology but can understand why most in these parts don't know crap about it.  I care about quality more then anything when I buy something.  I have never bought anything more then a snack from a convenience store.  I'd not have a problem living in a mobile home, or even just a shanty, but I don't live in one.

 

Then again, I'm in my mid 30's with no kids and never married, have all my teeth, college education and own my house and vehicles.  I'm like the 1% in NC.
