[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What surprised you most about being rich? Or what surprised you most about the lives of rich people? [/quote] DH and I are UMC/UC, and grew up in UMC/UC communities, but LMC to poor (fluctuating, depending on time and other variables) ourselves. We are keenly aware that there is no one to help us if we were to need money. You learn a lot about people, their attitudes toward money, and their sense of entitlement, when people think you have more than they do. We learned that many (most?) people like to count other people's pennies, and make assumptions about how other people acquired their money, and spend (or don't spend) their money. A uncomfortably large number of people think you should be spending it on them. It is eye opening. One consistent observation DH and I have made is that people who are down to earth are assumed to not be rich, in this area, which DH and I find comical. We gravitate toward people who are self made, for this reason, and strive to avoid pretentious or stuffy people who take themselves too seriously (and tend to be as boring as they seem). [/quote]
