[quote=Anonymous]Not sure what the definition of rich is here. We are retired with about $15M in net worth. Both my husband and I grew up middle and lower middle class, respectively. I didn't notice any specific change at one moment, and I would say it happened gradually over time. Honestly, for me, the shock was more with my first job and traveling with co-workers going to pricey restaurants and staying in 4 star hotels. As time went on and we accumulated more wealth and things got more comfortable, the only thing I noticed is more people soliciting us for services, etc. The toughest thing for me is that I don't relate to a lot of people I encounter (i.e. other parents at kids' private schools, etc.). We don't live in a super expensive house, so that makes it easier for us to feel like we fit in.[/quote]
