[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being born rich helps in certain subtle ways, I have learned.

BR people are better at sales. They don't feel bad selling people something or empathizing on affordability, pride, guilt, etc.

BR people are better managing "the help".

BR people are better at standing up for themselves for services received, such as a contractor messes up and they demand a refund.

Feel free to take me to task if you think these are wrong impressions. [/quote]

My spouse was born rich and apart from managing “the help,” none of your other impressions track.

Sales would be considered tacky because it requires hustle and talking dollars and cents. That’s beneath them. Unless you’re selling exclusively to other high net worth clients, in which case you’re “building relationships,” not selling.

And it would be gauche to demand refunds or complain about services rendered. You would only contract with well-vetted businesses in the first place, and if anything were to go wrong, you would spend more money on correcting it. There’s plenty of it. [/quote]
