[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inspired by the thread about being wealthier than your friends.

Do you think it is rude to talk about problems that are the result of wealth and privilege in front of people who lack the wealth/privilege to have those problems? For instance is it rude to complain about upkeep on a very large home with someone who lives in a small one? Is it rude to complain about your nanny to someone who can only afford daycare? Is it rude to complain about service at a high end restaurant or resort to someone who only budget travels? And so on.

And if your response is that it's not rude if it's a close enough friend, who does "close enough" mean and how do you decide? Like how do you know your friend isn't internally rolling their eyes and then complaining to their spouse later about what an a$$ you sounded like whining about your rich person problems?[/quote]

Only afford daycare? It's $25k per year per kid. Not exactly for the poors. You strike me as an ass regardless of wealth. [/quote]

Yeah that stuck out to me too. We could afford a nanny but prefer it for our own reasons.

All of these just sound like very boring conversations honestly.[/quote]
