[quote=Anonymous]I used to work with B list celebs (think, celeb chefs, lifestyle experts, Bravo channel types). I was in my 20s and 30s and amazed at their perks and always thought it was funny that they made so much money, and got so much free stuff. I would benefit from this by getting the things they didn't want - fancy pots and pans, teeth whitening, fancy restaurant gift certs, kitchen tours and comped meals when out with them etc. Tons of free food while at work, after hours, things to take home. I was making 70-80k, so I fully appreciated the perks, but also could support myself. Now I'm in my 40s. Making under 60k as an educator and pretty financially dependent on dh. Maaaaybe once a year my school provides pizza or a free tee shirt. The inequity in these 3 scenarios is laughable. It's not worth it to be angry...we all make choices and my life is pretty great. I just wish the gap was not so huge for all the people who work their asses off and still struggle. [/quote]
