[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have lived in the same area for about 10 years and it’s become really clear that almost half our our social circle has very large trust funds and family money. Usually the husband has a career but it’s typically one with lower stress and a moderate salary and then the rest of the families are one or two income lawyers, doctors, software engineers, c-level, sales… usually with an income averaging around $500k, but it’s so evident how much better off the ones with trust funds are. It’s hard not to compare knowing our income is high but it’s just very hard to reach that lifestyle they have from having the trust fund there. I was wondering if anyone else’s area is like this and what your experience has been? I never really noticed it but now that we know these people and are close with them I see the difference. We are all 30’s/40’s. I’m also wondering if you are someone in the situation of a trust fund in a community like this, do you look down on the families that are working class? [/quote]

I know both types. I judge them on the content of their character.  Seriously, I don't care. Good for them. I wish it were me.  It's not my situation. My situation is still pretty good. We can all be friends.  Why spend energy on things that don't impact me?[/quote]

I judge people on their character.  Don't care how rich/poor you are or where you get your money (as long as it's not illegal/selling drugs/etc). [/quote]
