“Gold Digger” Keeps Facing In-Laws’ Hate, Loses Patience And Shuts Them Up For Good
There’s only so much hate that one can withstand before they bend and break. And depending on the hate, the break might end up fueling something savage and fierce. The civil kind, though.
A woman, having lived through years of her husband’s family calling her a gold-digger (and similar epithets), decided that enough is enough and she proved the snobs wrong by a simple act of transparency.

There’s only so much hate that a person can bear until they snap in the most civil yet also savage way possible

A woman recently shut her in-laws up by showing her prenup to them, proving that she’s not a gold-digger but a successful entrepreneur

The woman also provided a couple of updates in response to people’s questions on the details

However, her husband didn’t think that was the best of ideas as it might give the family ideas for leeching off her

The story goes that Redditor u/BlasianInvasions shared how her husband’s family kept harassing her because they assumed she wasn’t as well off as her husband—and hence she must be a gold-digger.
That was not the case, however, as OP was an accomplished entrepreneur. Actually, according to her calculations, she owned a bit more than her husband, and both were technically millionaires at this point.
Well, after years of having to hear the snobby family take a jab at her, she simply redacted her prenuptial agreement and shoved it in their face. That surprisingly worked. Kinda. They stopped with the hate. And some actually were sort of nice to her. But we all know better.
This, however, caused a bit of unease in the relationship as the husband thought this might be an invitation for his enterprising family to take advantage of OP’s wealth. And some commenters agreed with this. Though, for them, this was also a great opportunity to completely cut them off now that they know as it makes for some quality petty revenge.
And it doesn’t take much to shut down a snob if you know them well enough to hit the key weak points

A huge part of shutting down a snob is countering snobby behavior. For instance, a lot of a snob’s “power” revolves around the fact that they make others feel inferior to them. So, don’t let them. Don’t give in to their social commentary and don’t let them walk all over you—that might make them retarget or tone down the snootiness.
Other tactics include calling them out and proving them wrong and treating their outlandish comments with kindness as opposed to rude overreactions.
It helps to understand snobs better before going on the offensive, however. It’s likely someone’s a snob because they feel insecure, threatened, or they just don’t know any better as they were raised that way. That’s why being kind and leading with a positive example might result in a transformative experience.
Heck, this might even become an educational thing for you too as you might understand some of the snobbish things you yourself do. Work on those to show the hardcore snobs how it’s done.

I just love all the Michele Obama answers (Go higher when they go low b******t). That's all well and good on paper, but in the real world, sometimes you have to go low to get your point across if the people you are dealing with only know low. Like maga morons here in the USA. She did the right thing by showing her husband's family who's top dog financially because that's all they understand. And what she did worked.

I think that might be part of the problem, in addition to being racist, they are 'classist,' and it made them feel big to try to make OP feel small. She doesn't flaunt her wealth and driving an older model vehicle as she wrote while they probably have the latest model. They might not be as rich as they try to make others believe.

My wifes sister who she has not seen in person in over 30 years accused me of brain washing her and living off of her. Mind you I have never meet this person in my life but she was angry because I had to put my foot down when she would only contact my wife for money. I had every right to put my foot down since the money my wife was sending her was mine. When I meet my wife she didnt have a dollar to her name, and her life was at that time was not good and I looked past all of her troubles. She started messaging me about Trump becoming president and how me a half black person stole the life that should of been hers and that I am manipulating my wife and all sorts of BS. This all came from someone who only received county assistance (not knocking it). I have never not had a job and supported myself, it sucks to be verbally attacked by someone who does not clearly know the circumstance, and it made me mad that she including someone about my race in it.

I probably would have done the same thing, as would most people. It's easy to say "why care about their approval?" Bur after years of that treatment, you want to make them look stupid. I get it.
