    My best friend is rich and doesnt really realize it. Even after seeing my family struggle for years she still doesn't know the cost of money. When we were 18, we went to the mall and she bought about 300 bucks worth of clothes, makeup and food. When she was out of money, she pulled out her mom's debit card and withdrew some more because she saw something cute she wanted to get as well. I bought a coffee and a top and was already feeling guilty and she kept asking why I didn't treat myself. I love her to death but that's one of her biggest flaws.

    When they say "you know, if you look at the prices and buy the larger one, it's cheaper overall." Like duh, I'm not an idiot. If I only have $20 and need laundry soap and toilet paper, I'm not gonna buy the largest bottle of laundry soap and not wipe my a*s for 2 weeks, I'm gonna get the smaller size of both because I need both. Not everyone has "buying in bulk" money.

    Either that, or when I see a comment online of someone saying "if only poor people knew that the food they eat is bad for them!" Not everyone can afford to spend $50 every week on fresh fruits and vegetables. Yeah we can buy potatoes, carrots, onions, apples and bananas, but we can't always afford a $5 tiny-a*s box of blueberries, $4 for an individual avocado or any other high priced produce items + the gas to drive to the grocery store every week since you have 1 week max to eat most of the produce before it rots.

    Luckily I'm no longer struggling at all, but there were times years ago when I asked to borrow money for groceries or get a ride to the food bank when we didn't have a car, only to be met with "just make a peanut butter sandwich. There's always something to eat!" BUT - you gotta HAVE bread and peanut butter to make the sandwich! It would have been totally fine to say "no, sorry I cant" but to make me feel like I'm entitled, stupid and just don't want to eat what I have at home when I don't HAVE anything at home, that's f****d up. Poor doesn't equal stupid, but ironically rich ignorance is bliss.

    In college I was friends with a guy who grew up incredibly wealthy & one day our group of friends decided to go to Wendy’s for dinner because said wealthy friend had never been, which speaks for itself. He started freaking out when we got there because he realized he had left his debit card at home & only had $100 bill on him. He was freaking out because he didn’t think he had enough money for dinner. Needless to say, he was SHOCKED to find out how much food he could’ve bought for $100.

    Have ZERO respect for money and its value. Typically regardless of their financial status, they are always burning money like nothing, and always borrowing from others, then saying things like "its just money why you so mad"?


    Its not that these people grew up rich, but they grew up relatively rich, where they never had to worry about money and its concept their entire childhood. Their parents gave them everything they wanted, and if their parents couldnt, someone else would. And the first time they got exposed to the whole "you work to eat" concept was when they're adults, and probably far too late to change their mindsets and worldviews about spending within their capabilities.

    I went to a prep school freshman year, and I learned what rich was.

    A girl's dad bought her a full frame off restored powder blue 66 Ford Mustang convertible and parked it in the middle of campus so everyone wondered what was up all day, then gave it to her at lunch. She was 15 and just got her permit.

    Another had 3 cars (Escalade, Benz, and M3). He was 15 as well.

    I bussed tables to help mom by groceries.

    Having speciality food. One of my buddies growing up had just about every food allergy you could think of, among other health issues. No recognizable brands because he was allergic to it all. His food was tailored to his strict dietary needs. Meats, crackers, drinks, etc. Gluten free everything before it was popular.

    He flew to Switzerland and California to see the best doctors in the world in regard to his ongoing health problems. They ran special tests, brain scans, you name it. They also made house calls, as did nutritionists.

    I firmly believe that he would be in a much worse spot today if his family didn’t have a bottomless bank account.

    Country club membership. Debutante. Cotillion. But this was only upper middle class in a smaller city in the south. Yes. Did them all. Parents were Cc members and debutante and cotillion events both held at CC. Dad played golf regularly. I never got that addiction and we didnt have the desire or inclination to have our own kids involved in either formal type event. They did sports and band (rock and marching).
