A city in Indiana just north of Indianapolis that everyone hates. People who live there hate all the stereotyping, and people who don't live there insult them as much as possible and know that they're actually just snobby rich kids. Most Carmel High School attendees are either super rich, rich, or not that rich at all. There is no medium. The only other High School in Carmel is the ridiculously small and lame University High School. Everyone who goes there is either on a minority scholarship or is ridiculously rich.
If you ask anyone who lives somewhere else, say, Zionsville or Westfield, people in Carmel are rich, stuck up snobs who like to flaunt their wealth. A lot of them are, and they know it. Most aren't really all that rich, but they like to think so because they live in Carmel. Other people who live there are probably pretty rich, but they most likely aren't all that stuck up and snobby.
Everyone outside of Carmel loves to hate on Carmel because of their cocky football team and their snobby residents. When people enter Carmel they often make jokes such as, "Hey, I think I need to upgrade to the new iPhone and buy a car that looks much more expensive than it really is."
In all fairness, people either like or hate Carmel. To be honest, a lot of the rich people there aren't all that bad, even a decent amount of University kids, but some of them are stereotypical snobby Carmel kids that makes you proud you don't live there.
"Oh god yes, we get to play Carmel's football team. I can't wait to see that idiotic stuck up fan base so we can laugh at them behind their backs."
"Look at that kid, he's obviously from Carmel, he has a Mercedes and a $5000 watch."
"I wish people would stop associating me with all those other idiots in Carmel." "Yeah, well just look at your house, it's at least $2 million."

Carmel is a suburb on the north side of Indianapolis. Many wealthy people live there including sports stars and CEOs. This may be the reason that many "Carmelites" call themselves rich. However, most of the people that reside in Carmel are not "rich". This brings me to a good example: in Carmel, some say that there neighborhood streets are lined with "CEOs, Presidents, and VPs". In reality, it is more like "$100,000 in debt, $200,000 in debt, and $300,000 in debt".
Most of the neighborhoods in Carmel are made of modest size houses, only a few have houses that one would consider "huge". You will also see a lot of Mercedes and Jaguars around town, but don't be fooled because most of these cars are leased. If they are not leased, then they probably require the last few cents of their paycheck to pay the bill for it. I say probably because like I said earlier, there are a select few in Carmel who can afford to write a check for a S600 Benz.
You will be able to tell who is living paycheck to paycheck in Carmel by walking inside their home. Even if it is a large house, look at their furniture. Does the house seem empty? Does the couch look 10 years old? If you get the sense that the furniture doesn't match the house, they are most likely in debt up to their eyeballs.
Carmel is a very materialistic community. You are defined by what you posses. For this reason, Carmelites find the need to buy a nice car. Since most of the people who live in Carmel are not capable of purchasing an S-class or a 7 series, they opt for the bottom of the line C230 Benz or the 325i BMW.
For some reason, there are a lot of "Wiggers" that go to Carmel high school even though there are almost no black people living in Carmel. The kids also like to talk about money. You will often hear "I just bought a $300 dress at the mall yesterday" instead of the modest phrase, "I just bought a dress at the mall yesterday". They think the more something costs, the more important they are as a person. This is the general mentality there.
Zionsville is a neighboring suburb also considered "wealthy", but you won't find many people in Zionsville acting like it. They have been taught the importance and respectfulness of modesty. You would never know the difference between the kid in school who drives the 750Li BMW and the one who drives the 1999 Camry. Zionsville has always been "old" money and Carmel is considered "new" money. This shows by the way people act. Old money has no need to prove their wealth, they have grown up knowing they have money and so have their parents and so on. In Carmel, the people go to college and get a good job then fall into money. They feel the need to show everyone that they now have a 6 digit paycheck.
Bottom line is if you want to put yourself in huge debt to keep up with the neighbors, move to Carmel. If you want to retire early and leave money for your kids, move to Zionsville.
Carmel - $150,000 paycheck. $90,000 after taxes. $4,000 mortgage payment x 12 = $48,000. 2 $600 car payments x 12 = $14,400 (includes their only 2 vehicles). This leaves $27,600 for other bills and necessities.
Zionsville - $150,000 paycheck. $90,000 after taxes. $0 mortgage because they already own the house. 1 $600 car payment x 12 = $7,200 (they already own the other 3 cars in their garage). This leaves $82,800 for other bills and necessities. See the difference.

1. The improper spelling of the word "caramel," a sauce made over the stove from sugar, butter, and the occasional addition of cream.
The ignorant second-grade dropout couldn't find carmel sauce in the grocery store because it doesn't actually exist.

A suburb in Indiana, north of Indianapolis with extremely hot girls who look like models. Many people in this town are very rich and have big houses but there are the occasional run down neighborhoods in the south part of carmel that poor, trashy people live in such as Home Place. The best part of carmel is on the westside where the richest people live and where all the best parties are. There are some good parts of carmel on the eastside but not as good as the westside. A lot of attractive, good looking people liver here, especially girls. Many people in the neighboring towns such as zionsville, fishers, and especially westfield try to act like carmel kids and hangout with them but in reality they're just pathetic and desperate and wish they could live in carmel and be like the people. Carmel High School is the best school to go to and has the best academic and sports programs. The football team especially is awesome and goes to the state championship every year. Overall carmel is just an awesome place to live with awesome people.
Damn that girl has to be from carmel she's so sexy
That party is so carmel
Eww look at those ugly westfielders they always try hang with carmel kids.

Kid 1: Nevermind, I hate him.

pronounced CAR-MULL. A city in Hamilton County, Indiana with a population of some 66,000 in 2007 and a posh suburb of Indianapolis. Probably the only “wealthy” community in Indiana. Many Hoosiers mistakingly believe Carmel is rich and envy its residents for some reason. It is no doubt a very nice and growing community but the truth is that there are tons of similar-sized communities around the country with way more money than Carmel could ever dream about, making it only an upper middle-class community. It’s not even the richest community in the Midwest by a long shot. In fact, a similar but smaller community of Zionsville to the immediate west could rival Carmel’s wealth per-capita, except they don’t brag about their perceived “wealth” and know how to respect individuals who have less than they do.
Hoosiers have no reason to be envious of Carmel because it is only an upper middle-class community. Many Hoosiers are jealous of its perceived wealth because they have no life of their own, but yet enough time on their hands to insult those who have worked for a living to obtain what they have. How jealous and childish. If your life sucks, then change it.
