[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the "healthy food" answer is nonsense. Women who meet[u] the actual definition of both rich and skinny [/u]do not eat much, just enough to stay alive and functioning. At that is not expensive, at all. [/quote] Not true. We shop at Whole Foods & spend at least $350/week on groceries. Organic fruit & vegetables aren't cheap. Wild-caught salmon can easily be over $20/pound. My almond milk is more expensive than milk. High quality olive oil is more expensive than butter or canola oil. I sent Dh to the store & he couldn't get over a small pack of chicken costing $15. When dining out, an entree costs the same whether you finish it or not. However, a higher end restaurant is more likely to have smaller portions than Applebee's.[/quote] Yes true. If you were truly met the actual definition of "rich" -- which is what this thread is ostensibly asking about -- you would 1) not do you own grocery shopping, a household manager would do to for you, and 2) you would have no idea what your weekly grocery bill was and you would't care. upper middle class =/= rich. Seriously, they're separate things. I'm upper middle class, I shop at Whole foods, and I don't need to be schooled on the price of purportedly-wild caught salmon at WF during June (answer: it was $29 btw). I have girlfriends who are RICH, who live in whole-floor residences overlooking Central Park. If I quizzed them on grocery bills, they'd blink in confusion. Their nutritonist consults with their cook and the household manager gets it done. [/quote] Thank you for the clarification. :roll: [/quote]
