[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They pretend to be poor; nickel and dime everyone "did you send me your half of lunch via venmo?" In my experience, the richer someone is...the more "pretend poor" they are!

Can you explain this phenomenon? [/quote]

Because most rich people are rich because they inherited family money, got lucky, or stood on the backs of giants to get to where they are in life. All of these situations encourage cagey behavior because of the embarrassment and lack of honor associated with how people acquired their wealth. It is difficult for a trust fund baby to have an honest conversation about the value of working hard when they’ve only read about the [i]foreign concept[/i] of hard work in boarding school classes.

This pretty much sums up most of the well heeled individuals on DCUM. [/quote]

I’m a trust fund baby and I’m perfectly capable of having a conversation about anything but come on, I would be crazy to do anything but steer well clear of you which is what you want anyway![/quote]
