[quote=Anonymous]The amount of your personal wealth wouldn't be a big deal to me, I was raised in a lower middle class home with a friends circle that ranged from poor to very wealthy. I have friends who are very fun and down to earth, and just happen to also have great wealth. However, I have run into situations with some wealthy people where they were really hung up on the disparity in our situations or oblivious. For example: a friendly acquaintance who lived in a mansion and would complain to me that she didn't have grocery money-which didn't make sense because her jewelry alone would have bought a lot of groceries, and she posted a go fund me to pay for an expensive hobby for her child. I think she was uncomfortable feeling like the privileged one, and wanted to bond with me over being poor, but it was just odd. And, then there are people who are nice enough but can't wrap their heads around what it's like to take the bus or are visibly uncomfortable going to the types of places I like and can afford. Having friendships across big class divides requires a lot of self awareness and willingness to let go of your baggage (whether it's there because you have or don't have).[/quote]
