This describes my childhood soo well!! My brother and I would always collect magnets on our holidays, but I got so sad each time we got home, because I couldn’t stick it to the fridge!
I see that the definition of rich family on reddit ranged from “being able to afford college tuition” to “having dinner with the president on a regular basis”.
@@nou5173 from what I heard, there are things called "community colleges". I don't live in US, but to the best of my knowledge, no one forces anyone to go to Yale or Harvard. Also if I know right, if you study well in high school you might have a scholarship, right?
"My mother wouldnt let her order thr cheapest thing on the menu which I never realized is something poor children are trained to do." This one hit so close to home.
We weren't even allowed to eat out most of the times even McDonald's is too expensive... To be fair i'm in france and the cheapest menu is 5€ without a dessert so for 4 persons it's 20 € when you could eat for about 4 days of homemade food with that

My parents are pretty affluent and have always sheltered me. They won't let me get a job, and I've never really seen or experienced life outside of what I'm used to. Watching these video really makes me scared for my future and I want to be able to experiance what life is like for those who aren't as fortunate as me. Its honestly very shameful to see people acting like that and having no concept of money and I want to be nothing like them.
yuthi madupur my parents are the same way. i wanted to work as cashier in some coffee shops although it won’t pay me that much but i really hate working under my parent’s control (they’re nurse and doctor) and i found those pay little job more fun and exciting but they declined and it makes me really sad :(
The_idiotic_tom _ Well, to be fair, those kids are probably a thousand times more likely to get kidnapped. Same with that kid with bodyguards and bulletproof car. His parents probably have some people who would very much like to hurt them in some way. Hurting the kid would probably be the easiest and most painful to the parents.
CroatiaSurvival true though I’m kinda glad it is a thing and I see how helpful it would be if such a terrible situation would happen and bless anyone who had to go through that
My dad wanted to kidnappe me when I was 7 he tried but my mum was there,I didn't know this until year ago and thet's why she never let me go home from school alone
Maybe it's an elite way to rid yourself of a disobedient little brat? Just say, oops he's gone, collect 100 million, & go to the bank. Sounds pretty cruel, but I know some parents that would do that.
We had a Maid and our maid had a maid so i don't see why not. It's actually normal here to have a maid. And you could be lower-middle class and still have a maid.
@@zee2016 It's normal to have one in most 3rd world countries. I went to a public school, played games on potatoes, go around by cheap motorcycles, ... it's not something like in Europe or whatever.
Marie Lastname what is the point of a maid really? I met a few richer kids at my School and they didn’t know how to do any sort of cleaning when we had to clean dorms and I had to show them how... Maids aren’t doing good

Maybe because I'm weird, but I always watched those house building shows on the DIY channel. and they were always upgrading someone's house and putting those central vacuum systems in. So I knew it was a thing when I was a kid. so it's been around for at least 30 years.
We has a central vacuum system, they're pretty common in old houses. Atleast where I live in Missouri, we've never been not struggling with finances so we didnt have to be rich to have one
Jesse Bogdonoff ur a good person. a lot of people have trouble seeing things through others perspectives. This is one of the biggest issues with today’s politics and human interactions.
@Jesse Bogdonoff aww that's so cute treating your lady like a queen she must be very lucky yeah my gf does that too because she feels that I'm wasting a lot of money on her but I just want to make her feel like she's the whole world
I installed one in a home once, its alot like doing HVaC ducting, just downsized a bit. Giant puller fan in the basement, wired to a switch panel, which branched to every room in the house, even the garage. Literally, push the button, youll hear it come on, and sweep the mess into it.
I had the opposite problem of not realising exactly how poor we were. In the evenings we would sometimes stop by the hotel where my dad worked as a waiter. Until I was 5, I thought we were the hotel owners.
Yeah me too my father wasn't earning good he only made minimum wage and i was a ungrateful little brat until i found what he earns but now My Father has a Job that pays pretty good.
The Intellectual Rogue Right? Ignorance is bliss. I’ve never corrected a rich persons perspective. It’s not possible to paint a picture of how bad it can get for a person, without them explaining why it’s your fault. So I just smile and give em the. “I know right?” “ what a lurid depiction of the poor you have “
I am middle class, but at times we've struggled (pay not coming on time for parents or too many bills at once) so we had to go to salvos to get food one time, that humbled me. Didn't ask for much as I was pretty content with what they bought us, xbox and nintendo, we may not have had the latest console or phone or anything, but I appreciated that I at least had something. We had a lot of fun outside anyway, riding on our bikes and playing sports or games like hide and seek or guns/cops and robbers, or watch movies with friends/ other kids in the neighbourhood. Also went with the older brother to collect firewood, camping or fishing or played with the nieces , mainly the oldest 1 who was only a few years younger. We didn't spend all the time on our consoles, mainly at night time. Childhood was good, we were in the middle not poor but not rich.
I love how most of these kids aren't spoiled brats. Like, that one guy wanted to pay back his parents for all they had done... these parents did a good job raising good human beings.

I imagine that being a personal driver can be an oddly good job if the pay checks out. I mean, if all you do is stand by, get paid for literally doing nothing all day and then get to drive the most luxurious cars on the market - there are far worse jobs.
Arcaryon yeah a guy in my area was hiring a driver he was offering 68k a year and full benefits (but could be raised significantly if you had previous experience and enjoyed talking about the same sports he enjoys) all for driving him about 1 and a half hours 3 times a week

@@broganromano9262 can relate. I am a university student and my parents pay for it( it is a norm in India, you live with your parents till death and joint families are quite common, and this is the reason there are very less homeless people in spite of poverty). Now that I got a scholarship which pays for my college and gives monthly allowance, I spend one month's allowance for the whole semester.
I think that's just more of a respect thing for some people. Like if I was invited somewhere, I'd just look at the lower end of the menu if I wasn't given a letter
When it said I didn't know poor children we're trained to pick the cheapest meal I was like: ”i feel guilty when I have to watch my parents pay the bill so I pick the cheap stuff” 😕
I only pick cheap things when i eat on someone else than my parents' money because i feel bad making them spend a lot for me. When i'm with my parents they usually get me everything i want.
The “globally rich” thing is really crazy to think about because what we consider middle class in the US is like crazy rich in lots of poorer countries. Even what we consider “poor” here, like only having a minimum wage job, is still sooo much more than some people who can’t even afford to buy a toothbrush.
Yeah, the economic class system is relative and not universal. The economic sections of society look pretty similar in all parts of the world www.gapminder.org/dollar-street/matrix . Also, the Rs 10 story is just weird, I belong to an average middle-class family in India (works for an MNC), beggars here usually get furious and curse if you don't give them at least Rs 5. (She probably expected more from Foreigner). The lowest wage in India is around Rs 500 - Rs 800 for a day's labor.
Totally. In my country for example, minimum wage is the equivalent of $200 dollars. Usa's minimum wage is what some with a reaaally nice job earns ($1200 dollars). And no, living expenses are not cheaper, it's actually a lot more expensive because our prices are directly linked to dollar value. Middle class is not s very common thing here
@MinecraftPro15 Yes,that is exactly what happens. I live in Argentina. Our economy is tanked. To give an example, last year we had an inflation rate of 56,7% We have horrible economy and we're barely scraping by. We have a lot of taxes and actually, most people live on some sort of welfare. Yes, that's counterintuitive, I know.
In USA my family is pretty average middle class but when I was an expat in Malaysia we had enough money to go to private school have a full time maid and driver and eat out twice a day every day. It was a huge culture shock moving back to where my parents grew up.
I remember when I was about 15 or 16, my older brother took me out to spend some time together. He had a job that paid him very well, and he took me to the grocery store and told me I could get whatever I wanted. When I asked, “Really? ANY-thing??” he said not to worry about the price and just go crazy. I was so overwhelmed at that point and had never had that kind of freedom before, so I had no idea what to get and ended up picking out a $2 carton of applesauce. I miss him a lot. I hope he knows that that applesauce was the best I ever had.
My brother worked on the fishing boats so earned good money, I took him to the supermarket when he was in my town and he said I could what I wanted too, I got a $15 roll on deodorant cos it was really good stuff that I couldn't really afford (normal stuff is about $4) and some beef jerky.. he kept asking if that's all I wanted... I was happy as!
@@kerrychristensen7204 It’s really quite sad and gross how the filthy rich teach their children to dehumanize people who literally do everything for them… like they are real people damn.
That first one the vacuums Imagine going to someone’s house and spilling something and just nudging it with you foot under the cabinets while everyone living there was watching and there just like “Did he really?”
I've heard of this before and seen it, it's basically like a vacuum hose u can pull out from the wall and theres holes to pull it out from in various rooms and it sucks it up into a giant tank in the garage which I was told they get someone who comes buy and empties it.
My grandmother had enough money growing up that she completely missed the great depression. Literally didn't know it happened until she went to college for a teaching degree.
This is mind boggling. Yeah internet didnt exist back then and the acces to information was limited but how rich you have to be to do that holy shit. Thats like, equivalent to living at the top of a mountain in germany and not knowing the nazis or some shit thats crazy. Completely detached from the outside world.
I am actually sad now it’s very depressing to know that someone is not going through the hard life like you I got a friend that’s filthy rich and we do lightsaber fights together obviously he has the 5000 dollars lightsaber and I have the 10 dollars one he sometimes asks me “why don’t you just go to Europe and buy a 5000 dollar one I just don’t get it” (and he thinks that just asking your dad for going to another state in the middle of the night is normal)
I'm not rich but most of my friends are so the things I have seem really crappy to them. They think its normal. To upgrade to the new iPhone, iPad, airpods every year is normal while I've had a crappy phone for a couple of years.
I can relate to so much of these! I grew up in a pretty wealthy family since my dad is/was a well known politician and it was so awkward to realise the amount of things that i thought were normal. some examples: - I thought every family had a "personal chef", i never saw my dad or mum in the kitchen to cook or bake so it was really weird when i was visiting a friend (i was about 8 or 9 y/o) and complimented the food and his mother was like "that is a family recipe", i seriously thought these things only exist in movies. Looking back that was probably the most stupid thing I thought. - when I was like 4 or 5 (really young) I thought that every family has multiple houses/estates in multiple countries and when my (at that time kindergarten best friend) asked me to go on holiday with her family I thought we were going to go to their holiday house (they were not wealthy at all and we didnt even leave the country, I remember being such an asshole and telling my mum very mean things about the family I went with because I was kinda traumatized by the circumstances (I'm not an asshole like that anymore and am very sorry for everything I said and for behaving like some spoiled little beast!)) - I thought that every house had at least one protective bunker or kind of a safety room in case of a natural disaster or similar things like that. - I had a couple of my favourite musicians play at my birthdays, I appreciate artists now a lot more than I did back then and feel like I wasnt really realizing how special that was - I didn't know that the "pocket money" concept really existed since I've always (not always but most of the time) just had to ask my parents to buy me something and they did btw I am in my 20s now and dont live such a wealthy lifestyle anymore, I kinda left that behind when I moved out but I'm well aware that I still am having huge privileges!
I never really watched TV much growing up but when I did the people in them were usually higher middle class and well off in general, I was never exposed to poverty in TV but rather personal experiences with friends
Yeah a lot of TV nowadays have people on upper middle class and all the teenage protagonists have their own room. But still, you can tell they don't have maids or drivers right? 😂
theuglykwan Yeah! This made me wonder how people raised like this could enjoy any works of fiction? Are they missing central messages, or does it just feel MORE fictional to them than it actually is?
Right? I feel like everyone should take a step back sometimes and be thankful for what they have, because everyone will always be envious of someone else and that will eat away at you.
Exactly. I'm grateful enough for having enough food without havibg to starve, having good vacations, and a loving family. Once you feel jealoucy, it will eat you up if you couldn't stop it.
I’m middle class and used to be poor. I felt awkward around my former friend who had money because I mentioned how my drawing tablet (birthday gift, on sale) was acting up and her dad just bought me a new one the next day. I felt so awkward, it was kind of embarrassing because I didn’t even ask, nor would I even dare to, and then I felt weird and indebted. Same friend whom I declined a stay at their timeshare and another time a weeklong free Disney Cruise. Couldn’t do it.
Strive to be a good person, work hard, be kind, be generous. But when life throws you privilege when you are down, don't scorn at it for the sake of modesty. Take it because life is harsh. One day when your at the top, remember and work toward fixing the economic injustice for others.

It was nice to see that not all rich people are bad. They actually sounded nice and geneuine. I was really happy when they would say " i appreaciate what my parents did" it warmed my heart... for some reason.
I can’t say I’m poor, I always had food, a roof over my head and ability to pursue higher education with family help-but yeah, we were taught to order the cheapest item on the menu when someone is buying, always. The rule was “never hurt someone’s pocket/budget.”

The story about the trip to canada must’ve been life changing to that girl and really changed her perspective on the world.

My mom cleans peoples houses for about $75 a house depending on the house and person. Some days I would help her and occasionally get paid $15. I always felt a little guilty because that was part of her payment. Also last year or the year before I worked at a pool and got about $110 a week and most of the time gave it to my mom to help us out. One of my friends is about middle class and asked me if I wanted to go out to eat. (it would've costed about $10) I told her I didn't have any money, so she told me to ask my mom. Little did she know I was referring to my family that I couldn't get money for it in anyway. (Just to make it clear we always have PLENTY of food at home, but that is why we eat at home. We don't waste money outside the house when we don't have to.) Life is starting to get better and my mom signed for a new car today. It is a 2015 jeep (thats all I know because I dont know cars very well) it is super nice and doesnt have a bunch of miles on it. Its going to be the nicest car we've had. We get it next week and I cant wait. Our other van had so many issues that when we drove it I was afraid it would quit. It was also recently wrecked (everyone is okay) but was not driveable anymore. We now will have a vehicle again. We didnt have a vehicle for only 1 week. Thanks to anyone that read this far.😁❤
Hey should probably tell her that the Jeep (made by Chrysler Corp.) is a huge money pit that will break down a lot over time as you put more miles on it. It’s not a good reliable vehicle to have if you wanna save your money. A good long lasting vehicle that is worth the investment is a Toyota, most of them might be boring or plain but they will last a billion years. It will keep your bank account from being smoked.

Man, reminds me yesterday I went to a friend's house and their entire house was like bigger than my entire apartment building, literally 1 bathroom was bigger than my bedroom, and every bedroom was the size of my living room and kitchen combined, plus some. I never have seen a house that big before, didn't even know a house COULD be that big. And I am over here sharing a room with my mom while I am 20 years old, while my friends house had like 5 big empty rooms because they just didn't know what else to put in them because they already had like 3 offices, 4 living rooms, two kitchens, and more. Like,, what's the point of even having a house with completely empty rooms???
“What even is the point of having a house that big?” Indeed. If the wealth was actually shared among the people of the world, and not hoarded to extravagance, the world would be a lot nicer place in my humble opinion.

Growing up I never really liked birthday parties so I would usually just go on vacation instead every year. When I told my friends that I wasn't having a sweet 16 and instead I was just gonna go on a cruise to the Caribbean they were completely shocked. I remember telling them nonchalantly that they should do the same because why have a party when you can just go on vacation lmao They looked at me like I was insane, that was when it really hit me that not every kid can just go away like that.....
My whole family does this, for my dad's b-d we go the beach for 2 weeks and for my mom's b-d we go to a concert and stay in a motel for 2 weeks but I just have a regular b-d party cause I like having my friends with me for my birthday
Same thing happened for my quince. When I was 3, my parents asked me what I wanted for my quince. Instead of having a large party, I wanted to take a 2 week trip to China. Well, that was planned for this summer. Thanks to COVID, there's no telling if I'll ever get that trip.
I grew up very wealthy. So I thought everything that I did in my house, everyone did too. I was homeschooled unlike my 10 other siblings, they went to a private school. So I was around 12 and finally went to middle school. I immediately made 1 friends and hung out. After a month of being there, my friend-let’s call her “Carla”. Carla asked me to come over to her house so we can have a sleep over. I agreed and went home excited. My parents came back at like 10pm and I ran up to them to ask them if they could let me have a sleepover at Carlas house. They were hesitant at first, but soon after 10 minutes of me trying to convince them, they finally agreed. I called my friend and told her my parents agreed. I went upstairs and into my room and packed my clothes for 2 days. I was excited as any 12 year old would be. I went into my bathroom to shower. I was planning it out and something struck me. Where am I going to sleep. I soon relaxed and realized she’ll let me sleep in the guest bedroom. I went to bed. The next day after school we went to to back side of the school and waited for her mom to come pick us up. I wasn’t used to my parents picking me up. I was used to my butler picking me up in the limo. I was fucking confused. I asked her if she had a limo. She looked at me like I was the craziest person and shook her head. “No, why would I?” Now I was fucking lost. I shook it off as my nervousness. But when her mom arrived in her 2000 Chevrolet lumina. I asked if this was hers and she, again, looked at me and said,”yeah. Of course?”. I got in and her mom greeted me,”Sorry for the mess.” I told her it was okay. She asked me for my address. So I told her. She looked at me wide eyed and mouth agape. She asked me if I really lived there and asked if I was messing with her. Obviously I told her no. She sighed and drove. It took about 30 minutes to get there. I used to live in California so these kinda houses were, pretty much huge. I told her to stop and I ran inside my house and told them they could come in for some food or a drink. They came in and they were amused. As the 12 year old I was, I was obviously confused. I brushed it off and ran upstairs to get my suitcase. I told them I got it and we left. When we got to where they lived, I was shook. They lived in a neighborhood and the houses were small. Like fucking tiny. I was raised, if you didn’t have anything nice to say, then don’t fucking say it. So I asked them where I can sleep. They said I could sleep on the couch. I smiled and said sure. So when the clock hit 9:00. It was time to go to sleep. I went into the small bathroom and washed my face took a shower, and brushed my hair and teeth and went off to the couch. Let’s just say i didn’t get a goodnight sleep. I woke up, it was Saturday. I woke up and ran to the kitchen. I was excited, I greeted my cooks name,”hey Rob-“ shit, he wasn’t there. Carlas mother laughed and greeted. She told me to have some cereal. I told her I wasn’t allowed to it. She said then what do we eat. I told her my whole diet. She was surprised. After spending two hours there, and hanging out with Carla and her mom, playing board games. I asked them to sleepover at my house for the rest of the week and wake up on Monday. Her mother agreed and we headed to the house. We arrived and my butler Michael took her car and parked it. They had a nice visit they said and came over often. I learned at age 13 everything and everyone was different. I just had to get used to it.
I had a similar experience. When I was in primary, I thought everyone's house and family were the same. One time we had to do some team homework and we had to decide in what house do it. My parents NEVER let me alone in other people's house so I suggest mine. They told me it's very huge (I still think is really small ) and told me this: "Your bathroom is literally my whole room". I was shook. Then I went to my friend's house. I was so surprised anyone can live in such a tiny place.
Not before quarantine I realised everyone doesn't have maid for them and people need to work. Like here it's common to have a maid here ,but they also needed to do chores to

I learnt how to cook and do crafts that were inexpensive. I’m glad I was brought up that way as now my parents have more money, I don’t lean on them because I’ve been given the key skills to make my own way instead of thinking I can lean on my parents
i got to a private school but i’m honestly not rich or rich kid material. my dad works his butt off to keep me there. anyways one of my friends for his bday hired an ice cream van, a pizza van that made fresh pizzas for u on tap, a band and a massive paella caterer for his birthday and his mums. it was amazing. normally when i hold a bday party we cram on the sofa, order a pizza and we have a paddling pool we mess abt in lmao. he had no idea we didn’t do all that. edit:spelling
I’ve been on both ends. In second grade, I never realized why school lunches were only 30 cents that year. Later, I realized that most kids didn’t have an hour worth of Christmas presents to unwrap from their grandma, amounting to half a grand.
My grandparents combined only give each person a $20 present for Christmas, and it's asking a lot to have my mom buy me a christmas present(s) over $100, this is how it's always been, were low to middle middle class
I couldn’t afford vacations growing up so when my mom saved up everything to take me to Seattle and Canada for my 18th birthday it was an absolute treat because she saved up everything for us to go
I honestly feel sorry for these kids. It's the parents' fault for not teaching their kids that they're rich. Although I do feel relieved when these kids realise that their lifestyle isn't normal. If I were rich, I'd try to teach my kids the value of money, and have them understand that everyone else has a smaller house.
Better than making them think their rich lifestyle is normal. I know that's not the proper way to word it, BUT, it'll be embarrassing in their teenage years for them to assume that everyone has the things they do, only to wonder why everyone in school thinks [s]he's a selfish snob when they didn't intend to be.
( O_〉O)? Most of them weren’t told they were rich because they are rich. No matter how much you try, you would never give a rich kid the poor kid experience and expect them to be happy with it
@( O_〉O)? True! I have a friend whose father owns a jewelry, and when I talked to her she never told me anything about it, sometimes it felt like she was hiding it. I only realized that she could be rich when I told my mom about her dad's job, and she replied with an expression saying "ooohh they are filthy rich then"... I would have never ever known if it wasn't for my mom telling me "you are rich if you own a jewelry" so that was that and thank you for coming to my Tedtalk😂
What I mean by this story is that her parents didn't spoil her with materialistic stuff, they were just a normal family that happened to have a lot of money. My friend was very humble and no one could ever guess she was rich if they didn't know her family's job.
@@o_o-037 Yeah you definitely worded it differently, but I get your point and I'd totally do the same. I'd make my kids aware that they're extremely fortunate to have grown up with what they have and not everyone is quite as lucky. That's why we have to help out others that might not share the same fortune.
10:43 Oh my god... That is so adorable. Especially because my little sister is doing something similar to her friend. My mum is a bit bellow middle class. Has a roof over the head and always something to eat but money is always tight. So my sis's friend is this small girl (they are both 7, but the friend is like a head smaller than my sister) and she only has 3 older brothers that basically get everything. My sis just told me she only has a few bites to eat in her lunch package, so she always shares what she can. And I am incredible proud of her.
My best friend was pretty well-off, only child, stuff like that. One day we were going to a convention and her parents drove us to there. They were casually talking abt buying a new car like it was normal (they already had two cars). We had mcdonalds for lunch and it was just so weird because they asked me what i wanted, my parents always chose what food to buy cuz it was their money and not mine. The car we were in was obv new and a month later it was already replaced with a new car. Like, it took my parents ten years before they even got to buy a car. AND THEIR HOUSE TOO. I REMEMBER COMING OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME TO SEE A FUCKING AC IN THE LIVING ROOM (this isnt normal in the philippines). And they had so many tvs like WHATS ALL THE TVS FOR.
WAIT HOLD ON WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE LIVING ROOM AC'S ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT HAVING 2 AC'S IN THE LIVING ROOM WAS NORMAL (im from the philipnes btw)
I’m so happy my family are first generation immigrants cause I’ve felt every aspect of the economic scale so I can relate to both sides of the resistors I’ve eaten with “camping dishes” and typical glass plates and ish I’ve been the kid without the extra unnecessary home and the kid with the extra unnecessary vacation homes and my fridge really went from a skinny legend to a fat boi
Had some friends have a sleepover at my house. A girl that was pretty rich was absolutely confused about so many things. Like, that i knew how to do a lot of totally normal stuff like cooking or that my bathroom floor was cold... She never was in an average household before. She felt so bad that some years later refused to live of her parents money and even got a job after school. She was a nice girl. But no clue what happend to her later because i moved to another city. But i'm 100% sure that she didn't became one of those uppish bitches.

Well, to be fair, those kids are probably a thousand times more likely to get kidnapped. Same with that kid with bodyguards and bulletproof car. His parents probably have some people who would very much like to hurt them in some way. Hurting the kid would probably be the easiest and most painful to the parents.

I am middle class, but at times we've struggled (pay not coming on time for parents or too many bills at once) so we had to go to salvos to get food one time, that humbled me.
Didn't ask for much as I was pretty content with what they bought us, xbox and nintendo, we may not have had the latest console or phone or anything, but I appreciated that I at least had something. We had a lot of fun outside anyway, riding on our bikes and playing sports or games like hide and seek or guns/cops and robbers, or watch movies with friends/ other kids in the neighbourhood. Also went with the older brother to collect firewood, camping or fishing or played with the nieces , mainly the oldest 1 who was only a few years younger. We didn't spend all the time on our consoles, mainly at night time. Childhood was good, we were in the middle not poor but not rich.

To be honest, I didn’t know that kids were trained to buy the cheapest thing on the menu until I watched this video.
The “globally rich” thing is really crazy to think about because what we consider middle class in the US is like crazy rich in lots of poorer countries. Even what we consider “poor” here, like only having a minimum wage job, is still sooo much more than some people who can’t even afford to buy a toothbrush.
Yeah, the economic class system is relative and not universal. The economic sections of society look pretty similar in all parts of the world www.gapminder.org/dollar-street/matrix . Also, the Rs 10 story is just weird, I belong to an average middle-class family in India (works for an MNC), beggars here usually get furious and curse if you don't give them at least Rs 5. (She probably expected more from Foreigner). The lowest wage in India is around Rs 500 - Rs 800 for a day's labor.
Totally. In my country for example, minimum wage is the equivalent of $200 dollars. Usa's minimum wage is what some with a reaaally nice job earns ($1200 dollars). And no, living expenses are not cheaper, it's actually a lot more expensive because our prices are directly linked to dollar value. Middle class is not s very common thing here
@MinecraftPro15 Yes,that is exactly what happens. I live in Argentina. Our economy is tanked. To give an example, last year we had an inflation rate of 56,7% We have horrible economy and we're barely scraping by. We have a lot of taxes and actually, most people live on some sort of welfare. Yes, that's counterintuitive, I know.
In USA my family is pretty average middle class but when I was an expat in Malaysia we had enough money to go to private school have a full time maid and driver and eat out twice a day every day. It was a huge culture shock moving back to where my parents grew up.
@Beached Rat Are hygiene products that expensive in America?
The rent I can understand but not being able to buy hygiene products surprises me.
I remember when I was about 15 or 16, my older brother took me out to spend some time together. He had a job that paid him very well, and he took me to the grocery store and told me I could get whatever I wanted. When I asked, “Really? ANY-thing??” he said not to worry about the price and just go crazy.
I was so overwhelmed at that point and had never had that kind of freedom before, so I had no idea what to get and ended up picking out a $2 carton of applesauce.
I miss him a lot. I hope he knows that that applesauce was the best I ever had.
That was just too wholesome for me
If by "I miss him a lot." you mean that something happened to him, you have my deepest condolences.
My brother worked on the fishing boats so earned good money, I took him to the supermarket when he was in my town and he said I could what I wanted too, I got a $15 roll on deodorant cos it was really good stuff that I couldn't really afford (normal stuff is about $4) and some beef jerky.. he kept asking if that's all I wanted...

I can relate to so much of these! I grew up in a pretty wealthy family since my dad is/was a well known politician and it was so awkward to realise the amount of things that i thought were normal.
some examples:
- I thought every family had a "personal chef", i never saw my dad or mum in the kitchen to cook or bake so it was really weird when i was visiting a friend (i was about 8 or 9 y/o) and complimented the food and his mother was like "that is a family recipe", i seriously thought these things only exist in movies. Looking back that was probably the most stupid thing I thought.
- when I was like 4 or 5 (really young) I thought that every family has multiple houses/estates in multiple countries and when my (at that time kindergarten best friend) asked me to go on holiday with her family I thought we were going to go to their holiday house (they were not wealthy at all and we didnt even leave the country, I remember being such an asshole and telling my mum very mean things about the family I went with because I was kinda traumatized by the circumstances (I'm not an asshole like that anymore and am very sorry for everything I said and for behaving like some spoiled little beast!))
- I thought that every house had at least one protective bunker or kind of a safety room in case of a natural disaster or similar things like that.
- I had a couple of my favourite musicians play at my birthdays, I appreciate artists now a lot more than I did back then and feel like I wasnt really realizing how special that was
- I didn't know that the "pocket money" concept really existed since I've always (not always but most of the time) just had to ask my parents to buy me something and they did
btw I am in my 20s now and dont live such a wealthy lifestyle anymore, I kinda left that behind when I moved out but I'm well aware that I still am having huge privileges!
Those rich kids might not have mixed with poor people, but surely they watched movies and tv?
I never really watched TV much growing up but when I did the people in them were usually higher middle class and well off in general, I was never exposed to poverty in TV but rather personal experiences with friends
I agree with these points, but I also think the kids just think it's fiction.
Movies and TV don't portray poverty that well. No way in hell all these sitcom people afford a place in Manhatten or Cali.
Yeah a lot of TV nowadays have people on upper middle class and all the teenage protagonists have their own room. But still, you can tell they don't have maids or drivers right? 😂
theuglykwan Yeah! This made me wonder how people raised like this could enjoy any works of fiction? Are they missing central messages, or does it just feel MORE fictional to them than it actually is?

I’m middle class and used to be poor. I felt awkward around my former friend who had money because I mentioned how my drawing tablet (birthday gift, on sale) was acting up and her dad just bought me a new one the next day. I felt so awkward, it was kind of embarrassing because I didn’t even ask, nor would I even dare to, and then I felt weird and indebted. Same friend whom I declined a stay at their timeshare and another time a weeklong free Disney Cruise. Couldn’t do it.
Strive to be a good person, work hard, be kind, be generous. But when life throws you privilege when you are down, don't scorn at it for the sake of modesty. Take it because life is harsh. One day when your at the top, remember and work toward fixing the economic injustice for others.

But my thought is, if they have that much money, why do they need to be paid back. The kid could use it more than his parents could
Chris Marston true. and i think that parents who paid for it in the first place would probably refuse the money. i think the effort and sentiment is sweet

My mom cleans peoples houses for about $75 a house depending on the house and person. Some days I would help her and occasionally get paid $15. I always felt a little guilty because that was part of her payment. Also last year or the year before I worked at a pool and got about $110 a week and most of the time gave it to my mom to help us out.
One of my friends is about middle class and asked me if I wanted to go out to eat. (it would've costed about $10) I told her I didn't have any money, so she told me to ask my mom. Little did she know I was referring to my family that I couldn't get money for it in anyway. (Just to make it clear we always have PLENTY of food at home, but that is why we eat at home. We don't waste money outside the house when we don't have to.) Life is starting to get better and my mom signed for a new car today. It is a 2015 jeep (thats all I know because I dont know cars very well) it is super nice and doesnt have a bunch of miles on it. Its going to be the nicest car we've had. We get it next week and I cant wait. Our other van had so many issues that when we drove it I was afraid it would quit. It was also recently wrecked (everyone is okay) but was not driveable anymore. We now will have a vehicle again. We didnt have a vehicle for only 1 week. Thanks to anyone that read this far.😁❤
I hope everything works out for you
Goodluck buddy! Hope she lets you drive it
Sending you love💖💖💖💖
Hey should probably tell her that the Jeep (made by Chrysler Corp.) is a huge money pit that will break down a lot over time as you put more miles on it. It’s not a good reliable vehicle to have if you wanna save your money. A good long lasting vehicle that is worth the investment is a Toyota, most of them might be boring or plain but they will last a billion years. It will keep your bank account from being smoked.
My mom has a 2009 Jeep Cherokee and its been a very good car to us .

Growing up I never really liked birthday parties so I would usually just go on vacation instead every year. When I told my friends that I wasn't having a sweet 16 and instead I was just gonna go on a cruise to the Caribbean they were completely shocked. I remember telling them nonchalantly that they should do the same because why have a party when you can just go on vacation lmao They looked at me like I was insane, that was when it really hit me that not every kid can just go away like that.....
My whole family does this, for my dad's b-d we go the beach for 2 weeks and for my mom's b-d we go to a concert and stay in a motel for 2 weeks but I just have a regular b-d party cause I like having my friends with me for my birthday
That sounds amazing. Im glad you got to experience that.
Same thing happened for my quince. When I was 3, my parents asked me what I wanted for my quince. Instead of having a large party, I wanted to take a 2 week trip to China. Well, that was planned for this summer. Thanks to COVID, there's no telling if I'll ever get that trip.
Growing up I never like my birthday because no one showed up
On my 18th birthday I went on a weekend getaway to epstein island
I grew up very wealthy. So I thought everything that I did in my house, everyone did too. I was homeschooled unlike my 10 other siblings, they went to a private school. So I was around 12 and finally went to middle school. I immediately made 1 friends and hung out. After a month of being there, my friend-let’s call her “Carla”. Carla asked me to come over to her house so we can have a sleep over. I agreed and went home excited. My parents came back at like 10pm and I ran up to them to ask them if they could let me have a sleepover at Carlas house. They were hesitant at first, but soon after 10 minutes of me trying to convince them, they finally agreed. I called my friend and told her my parents agreed. I went upstairs and into my room and packed my clothes for 2 days. I was excited as any 12 year old would be. I went into my bathroom to shower. I was planning it out and something struck me. Where am I going to sleep. I soon relaxed and realized she’ll let me sleep in the guest bedroom. I went to bed. The next day after school we went to to back side of the school and waited for her mom to come pick us up. I wasn’t used to my parents picking me up. I was used to my butler picking me up in the limo. I was fucking confused. I asked her if she had a limo. She looked at me like I was the craziest person and shook her head. “No, why would I?” Now I was fucking lost. I shook it off as my nervousness. But when her mom arrived in her 2000 Chevrolet lumina. I asked if this was hers and she, again, looked at me and said,”yeah. Of course?”. I got in and her mom greeted me,”Sorry for the mess.” I told her it was okay. She asked me for my address. So I told her. She looked at me wide eyed and mouth agape. She asked me if I really lived there and asked if I was messing with her. Obviously I told her no. She sighed and drove. It took about 30 minutes to get there. I used to live in California so these kinda houses were, pretty much huge. I told her to stop and I ran inside my house and told them they could come in for some food or a drink. They came in and they were amused. As the 12 year old I was, I was obviously confused. I brushed it off and ran upstairs to get my suitcase. I told them I got it and we left. When we got to where they lived, I was shook. They lived in a neighborhood and the houses were small. Like fucking tiny. I was raised, if you didn’t have anything nice to say, then don’t fucking say it. So I asked them where I can sleep. They said I could sleep on the couch. I smiled and said sure. So when the clock hit 9:00. It was time to go to sleep. I went into the small bathroom and washed my face took a shower, and brushed my hair and teeth and went off to the couch. Let’s just say i didn’t get a goodnight sleep. I woke up, it was Saturday. I woke up and ran to the kitchen. I was excited, I greeted my cooks name,”hey Rob-“ shit, he wasn’t there. Carlas mother laughed and greeted. She told me to have some cereal. I told her I wasn’t allowed to it. She said then what do we eat. I told her my whole diet. She was surprised. After spending two hours there, and hanging out with Carla and her mom, playing board games. I asked them to sleepover at my house for the rest of the week and wake up on Monday. Her mother agreed and we headed to the house. We arrived and my butler Michael took her car and parked it. They had a nice visit they said and came over often. I learned at age 13 everything and everyone was different. I just had to get used to it.
I had a similar experience. When I was in primary, I thought everyone's house and family were the same. One time we had to do some team homework and we had to decide in what house do it. My parents NEVER let me alone in other people's house so I suggest mine. They told me it's very huge (I still think is really small ) and told me this: "Your bathroom is literally my whole room". I was shook. Then I went to my friend's house. I was so surprised anyone can live in such a tiny place.

I honestly feel sorry for these kids. It's the parents' fault for not teaching their kids that they're rich.
Although I do feel relieved when these kids realise that their lifestyle isn't normal.
If I were rich, I'd try to teach my kids the value of money, and have them understand that everyone else has a smaller house.
Better than making them think their rich lifestyle is normal.
I know that's not the proper way to word it, BUT, it'll be embarrassing in their teenage years for them to assume that everyone has the things they do, only to wonder why everyone in school thinks [s]he's a selfish snob when they didn't intend to be.
( O_〉O)? Most of them weren’t told they were rich because they are rich. No matter how much you try, you would never give a rich kid the poor kid experience and expect them to be happy with it
@( O_〉O)? True! I have a friend whose father owns a jewelry, and when I talked to her she never told me anything about it, sometimes it felt like she was hiding it. I only realized that she could be rich when I told my mom about her dad's job, and she replied with an expression saying "ooohh they are filthy rich then"... I would have never ever known if it wasn't for my mom telling me "you are rich if you own a jewelry" so that was that and thank you for coming to my Tedtalk😂
What I mean by this story is that her parents didn't spoil her with materialistic stuff, they were just a normal family that happened to have a lot of money. My friend was very humble and no one could ever guess she was rich if they didn't know her family's job.
@@o_o-037 Yeah you definitely worded it differently, but I get your point and I'd totally do the same. I'd make my kids aware that they're extremely fortunate to have grown up with what they have and not everyone is quite as lucky. That's why we have to help out others that might not share the same fortune.
10:43 Oh my god...
That is so adorable.
Especially because my little sister is doing something similar to her friend. My mum is a bit bellow middle class. Has a roof over the head and always something to eat but money is always tight.

We had mcdonalds for lunch and it was just so weird because they asked me what i wanted, my parents always chose what food to buy cuz it was their money and not mine. The car we were in was obv new and a month later it was already replaced with a new car. Like, it took my parents ten years before they even got to buy a car. AND THEIR HOUSE TOO.

WAIT HOLD ON WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE LIVING ROOM AC'S ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT HAVING 2 AC'S IN THE LIVING ROOM WAS NORMAL
(im from the philipnes btw)
@Yellow Rose Well the philipines is in asia and whats a vent system ?
I feel rich now, Window AC setup gang
@Yellow Rose Intresting , oof and NP
I understand you, man.
I’m so happy my family are first generation immigrants cause I’ve felt every aspect of the economic scale so I can relate to both sides of the resistors
I’ve eaten with “camping dishes” and typical glass plates and ish I’ve been the kid without the extra unnecessary home and the kid with the extra unnecessary vacation homes and my fridge really went from a skinny legend to a fat boi
CєƖєѕтιαƖ Mσση I FELT THIS OMG
'my fridge went from a skinny legend to a fat boi' Now you know where the missing food has been going
Karma NO WONDER
'...my fridge really went from a skinny legend to a fat boi'.
XD
Not immigrates but I could relate to this
Seen both sides
And grateful for both :)
Had some friends have a sleepover at my house. A girl that was pretty rich was absolutely confused about so many things. Like, that i knew how to do a lot of totally normal stuff like cooking or that my bathroom floor was cold... She never was in an average household before.
She felt so bad that some years later refused to live of her parents money and even got a job after school. She was a nice girl. But no clue what happend to her later because i moved to another city. But i'm 100% sure that she didn't became one of those uppish bitches.
