I don’t associate with gluttonous pigs




These people live in a bubble , and add no benefits to society but they’re fake charities that do not help anyone

Lot's of travel.

No one — absolutely no one— needs private schools to speak and write English correctly. In fact, you can even speak and write in an interesting way with a PS edu. Stupid answer. Really stupid.

I grew up poor and don’t know how to do any of those things. My brothers probably know.

Same + I do not know any women who can do those things either.

How sexist. I’m a woman and was taught to do all of these things (and more) by my parents. I’m definitely handier than my husband. I also grew up rich.

Okay, I guess that's fair. You either know how to change a tire, or know someone that knows

I'm laughing so hard at all the posts about how wealthy people are so gracious and kind and down-to-earth and modest and understated and just such great people. LOL. They are just people, and there is actual research that shows that having a lot of money actually increases sociopathy and makes people less empathetic. Wealthy people can be nice, or unkind. They can be modest or flashy, smart or dumb, funny or dull, full of noblesse oblige or filled with contempt, generous or stingy, polite or rude. The real constant is that rich people are insulated from how the world works for most people. They are insulated from the consequences of their poor choices. Money is a cushion and a bubble.

They don't work. Don't have to.

Well, now they know.

I'm thinking this may be a joke because of the reference to Clarksburg?

White privilege.

My old money college friend (whose family clearly doesn’t have a ton of money still) felt a ton of pressure to belong to her parents CC and send her kids to the same private schools even though her parents couldn’t or wouldn’t help financially. There is definitely a pressure to live a certain kind of life even if you can’t really afford it.

Actually the wealthy sometimes have little jobs in prestigious places, like chalet girl in Courchevel when they’re 22.

Those jobs may be little (similar to being a counselor at the sleep away camp in Maine they went to) but they aren't crappy.

I don't really want to read all 12 pages, I think the above statement sums it up.

I see it a lot in this area more so than in other areas I've lived in. Most other places, those that grew up relatively wealthy don't assume to understand how it is for most of us. But here, there are a lot of folks that grew up wealthier than they are now. And now that they work a 'normal' job and drive a 'normal car' (at least until they collect their inheritance), they want to act like they are 'commoners' but some things they say just make me nauseous.

They also like to go on platitudes about helping the poor and then will say that someone like me wouldn't understand. I grew up poor dude/dudette. I don't wear a sign advertising it but I'm so glad you think you know best. That's the crux of it, they will always think they know best because of their upbringing.
