99% of rich people on DCUM don’t think they are rich. Yes, they are.

I don't think it is meant negatively, but I don't like it.

Tell her sternly .. Mom it's considered impolite to discuss money. And then add in, "and low class"

Btw, that is the a lesson she was told - her generation was told.

I think my mom says it as a pride type of thing. Like, look what a successful kid I produced.

However, in reality, I am successful and well off despite my upbringing. I knew I didn't want to be like her and my dad, so I worked my ass off to better myself and provide myself with the best educational opportunities.

I think it is a jealousy thing.

I don't think me mom means it in a negative way, but I doubt she would refer to my sister that struggles as poor.

Interesting. My mom also says it about neighborhoods l have friends in, and not as a compliment. She is sensitive enough not to say it about me, at least to my face.

We're not rich but I suppose we're wealthier than she's seen personally throughout her life. I just ignore it.

+1 My mom says the same and it's definitely not a compliment

I think she means it as a compliment, but makes me so uncomfortable.
