Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn?
Dated a man who didn't work - lived off of a TrustFund. Oddly, since he could afford nearly anything - nothing had any value. He'd buy a $400 KitchenAid mixer - and burn it up making Christmas candy the first week. If he decided to make more candy - he'd just go buy another $400 mixer. Nothing meant particularly ANYTHING to him.
How much easier it is to make money when you already have money.
My wife's family has no concept of what a workday is.
They don't know how to cut back because they only knew the good life. No sweetheart, we don't need 3 vacations a year when you are flocking unemployed.
He didn’t have any concept of saving money, it was always just there because his money was always earning money. Having money was an income stream of itself. Also he had no concept of how much anything cost. Was going to get some groceries for dinner and he gave me $300 to pick up some basics.
If you have a lot of money, people give you so much free stuff all the time trying to earn your business or procure donations. Ironic that the people who can best afford to pay for the items get comped the most!
Quality really does make a difference in everything from clothing to ingredients.
Rich people seem to eat a lot of fish.
Wife's family comes from money and I come from broke AF. There's probably a new "that's weird, why would you do that?" every week. This will appear for things like forgetting hamburger buns and giveing the kids a burger on Wonder bread or whipping up a batch of spaghetti noodles to go with chili.
Rich doesn't cure alcoholism
Just made me realise how expensive being poor is. They never have debt, never need to look at their balance too see if they can buy food, never pay interest on overdue bills etc.
Dated this wealthy girl who instantly had an anxiety attack when I told her I was thinking about buying my own car, she believed I'd break up with her because I won't need her car anymore. Make your own conclusions.
You’ll miss the lake house more than them.
Dating a arab woman from a billionaire family. Most of their money came from investments made over a hundred years ago. The OG split his gains between his sons and daughters who went on to start their own businesses and investments. The train has been rolling since then. Definitely learned a lot about generational wealth from her and her folks.
"I didn't go to college" means something else entirely when you go to a $50k/year private school and get hired by your dad's pharmaceutical company.
Learned that i’m really, really poor
Money can’t buy taste
"Old" money will never get it. They're on a different plane of existence, like it or not.
Money can't buy class or kindness but it can buy peace of mind
I've become friends with some very wealthy people. Their children, even if they are "good people" are more often than not completely clueless about the real world. Like they can't envision living without the money so they don't understand why people are upset about getting fired or struggling to pay bills.
In my experience they tend to be very untrusting of anyone. Doesn't make for the best relationships.
How you don’t need to really worry about your wealth if it is properly invested. Over a long timeline, it builds. Period. So you can ignore most short term trends in the markets.
Their friends are all rich too, they're the only ones they can trust that aren't after their money
I married my husband who is kore aligned like me but his family is RICH. It is pretty awkward at times. I don't want to touch anything in their house and I truly didn't at first.
I learned how easy it is to get yourself out of legal trouble.
There's a whole market based on convincing rich people that they need to pay over the odds for things. You don't just need a pen, you need $500 luxury pen! Need to tell the time? Why not buy a watch that costs more than a lot cars? It's every bit as exploitative as cheap, barely fit-for-purpose products that get marketed towards poorer people.
They’re horribly disconnected from the real world. I told an ex how high schoolers in my city were pooling money to stay in cheap motels for a week because they were homeless. He told me that was stupid, they’re not making any equity. They need to buy a house and pay a mortgage so they’re not losing money.
