I mostly feel that wealth hasn't made you in any way discerning, which is sad.

There are just as many personalities at the wealth end of the spectrum as there are at the poor end. Your circle didn't have the same priorities as you? It doesn't mean all rich people should be tarred with the same brush, now, does it?

I recommend extensive reading, international travel and going to classical music concerts.

why?

Because most classical music is not as accessible an art as other types of entertainment, and it requires delayed gratification, close listening skills and ideally some musical literacy. The people you meet there skew to wealth but many will not. There will be a lot of musicians and aspiring musicians with their families. There will be cerebral types and informed amateurs who may have important day jobs. They won't come there to brag and throw their weight about. You will see a different side of people you may know professionally. The energy will be introspective rather than muscular.

If OP has worked extremely hard to get to where she is, she may have missed what the finer things in life actually are, how to enjoy them with people she can find common ground with, and how to contribute to them.
She could do the same for wine-tasting, or reading various types of literature, or themed traveling.

I attended classical music concerts as a broke bartender with no degrees, and I think you're being overly optimistic in your evaluation of who attends these things.

I'm perfectly middle class and a good size percentage of all those above and below me are a-holes. But I consider that to be perfectly normal.

A few years ago I walked away from rich people completely and now live a very different life. I have zero to do with old colleagues and friends and am much happier.

Anybody else feel the same way about the rich?

And the reason to post this in DCUM is...

Why not? Eight pages of comments later and here we are.

Overall the stereotype of a rich person is an obnoxious, unkind, douchebag, drug using, and arrogant person who will loudly visit a bar, get drunk, and pee all over the walls in public. Just some total out of control person. People see this get envious, offended, and mostly just have envy. Sometimes it`s just enough watching others winning big money for feeling a kinda of relief I like such videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zrlht1mIMUM&t=6s It`s just for fun

Can you imagine how shitty everything would be if the poor had to pay for it?

LOL. Can you imagine how everything would be if poor people were actually not actively subjugated and oppressed and were allowed to crawl out of poverty? A lot nicer for everyone, brah.
