[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think understanding that you are privileged, on it's own, is worth much. The important thing to understand is that wealth doesn't tell you anything about whether a person is smart, hard-working, interesting, or worthy of your respect. The caviar example in particular made me shudder. Imagine telling your child blithely that the garnish for their food costs enough to feed a family for two weeks, then proceeding to act like that's totally normal. What are they supposed to take away from that? Is that fine? Why?[/quote] This is the best answer - make sure your kids know that richer does not make someone better. And that things rich people do or get are not always better. Someone can have a wonderful life while never travelling abroad, going to private school, etc.; and things like travel, private school, etc. do not make someone's life better, necessarily.[/quote]
