[quote=Anonymous]My wife was married to a man who was a name carrying member of a real, super deep foundation of America old money family (think Vanderbilt, Havermeyer, Rockefeller) . The grandparents have entire museums with their names on them, they had mansions that they hadn’t visited in years that were fully staffed; they could move mountains with a pen stroke. 
My wife was the daughter of blue collar parents who sometimes had to choose which bills to pay because that month there wasn’t enough. 
The older generations of the  family were nothing but nice to her, they listened to her when she spoke and treated her like an equal- like family; the younger ones weren’t so kind, they occasionally treated her like a temporary guest. During her time with her ex she said she met some really good family members but she also met an inordinate number that made her naseasus to be around.

From her descriptions the ex husband was a dressed up trash can, amazing education, incredible advantages all wrapped up in a hollow man with zero grit and really flexible morals. Their marriage was short and she was granted an exit package that could’ve bought a few houses in McLean outright but she turned it all down choosing only to keep her Honda Accord.

Wealth certainly makes some things easier but character and happiness can’t be taught or bought, pay no attention to what you perceive as class, it makes no real difference as to the quality of your life.

Before you ask, I’m not from generational wealth; I own a filthy business and drive a pickup truck, I make decent money but nowhere close to what she had before getting together with me. [/quote]
