[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m was a basic middle class public school kid who married someone with substantial family wealth. I love my spouse, no regrets, but money can cause all sorts of issues and you can’t really talk to anyone about them, because you’ll sound ridiculous. It can be isolating.[/quote]

what sort of issues have you seen / dealt with?[/quote]

Feeling like we have to keep it a secret to be friends with the type of people we like to spend time with. (We don’t hang out with other wealthy people.) Loss of ambition. Not really needing to work and trying to figure out how to have a meaningful life. Trying to keep kids grounded and wondering if we’re depriving them sometimes because we could give them so much more, but we don’t. Feeling like we don’t deserve any of it. Mismatch in general attitudes about money—like my DH just doesn’t really think about it, ever. It’s just there and taken for granted. I’m constantly trying to budget and rationalize and think about how to hold onto it or make more of it, and it’s all just ridiculous. Ingrained thinking. [/quote]
