Why do rich people hate to admit they’re rich? This guy said he’s spending a month in Greece. I said that’s crazy bc I could never. He started whining that his dad came from nothing and built a house in Greece.. bro. I’ve never even left the country

i feel like they don’t want to be seen differently for their wealth. since many assume all rich people are snobs that didn’t earn their money

I low key feel bad about it. My friends always talk about their broken families, and when asked about mine I hate saying that my mom’s on another business trip in Europe. Or the fact that now studied in Japan not once, but TWICE. Idk I feel like it alienates me from my friends and I feel bad about it knowing they can’t have the same stuff I have.

honestly, i’m poor, grew up poor, and i thought the same for a while because of tv. american tv sets the idea that everyone goes on vacation. i thought it was normal to go to disneyland/world and i missed out bc ive never gone. didn’t help that i knew a lot of ppl who’ve gone. not trying to justify, just giving ideas to make it make sense.

It’s disheartening. Seeing everyone post about their lavish trips when I’ve been working all summer. The best I could muster is a day trip to the beach in the neighboring state.

yea i get that. i’ve only been on one vacation in my life, and that was because i was awarded enough scholarship money to be able to afford it.

Exactly. I've been working 3 jobs all summer and now I have to use every single penny I got to buy a new computer. Now I'll be back at 0. It's so frustrating and disheartening.

YES. i feel so much guilt for being born into a well-off family, and have never had to worry about basic necessities, and luxuries were basically guaranteed. i think it’s some sort of survivor’s guilt. why me, and not them? why did i get so lucky in my life? i didn’t earn it, it was just pure luck i was born into my family who was lucky and has lots of opportunities in the past to grow their wealth.
