[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both online & IRL? [/quote] It’s because they don’t self-identify that way. “Rich” or “wealthy” are understood by many as relative terms, and the people you are likely thinking of spend a lot of time with people you to them seem, you know, *actually* rich. Such people think of themselves as “comfortable”, “secure”, “well-off” or “successful” but think of “rich” as being the guy with the private jet, the family compound on Martha’s Vineyard, etc. Also “rich” and “wealthy” have a perjorative flavor to some, so it’s natural people don’t want that label applied to themselves. And it would be terribly tacky to actually describe oneself as “rich” even if true.[/quote]
