[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I hang with my extended family, it's more about people's jobs, college, kids' sports, tech, etc.

My brother and his wife are literal millionaires and I had Thanksgiving with them last night. Here's what was discussed: some place in Northern Spain I've literally never heard of before, one couple who has a house in Marin, Sausalito, Hawaii, and Paris. A guy who has been to Japan six times. People hanging out with celebrities (two people there from LA - one is a millionaire), wine, plastic surgery, surprise trips to England and Spain, and food. I was the only person there who has never left North America, and there were six children there. [/quote]

Everyone present at our Thanksgiving dinner is a “literal millionaire” (this isn’t as rare as it once was) and the topic of travel never came up. Neither did any other topic openly or tangentially about money come up. My in-laws in their 70’s, 3 couples in their 40’s, and 4 teenagers. It was mostly NFL talk, fantasy football, conversation about the food, my in-laws boring retirement social life, and asking what the teens wanted for Christmas. [/quote]
