GUYS DO YOU SEE HOW CLOSE WE ARE TO 1 MILLION?!?!
It’s crazy! You’re getting so many more followers every day. Go Charlotte!
#pettypotatoarmy
You’re ridiculously close! Very exciting.
Yes, I've been telling my friends and family to SUBSCRIBE hopefully then have been
You've helped brighten the days of so many, and only asked for one thing in return. We so want you to get there.
You deserve it so much. I’ve loved seeing your channel grow over the years ❤️❤️❤️
With regard to the story of the client who gave the banker woman $12,000. Years ago my niece had a job grooming dogs. She had a client that would always tip her $100 and would never let another groomer touch her dog. One evening after my niece finished with the woman's dog, the woman asked my nice if they could talk outside. When they got outside the woman said "I want you to have this." It was a check for twenty thousand dollars. Being stunned an confused my niece ask "Why are you giving me this?" The woman replied, "When my husband died he left me more money than I will ever be able to spend and I wanted to do something nice for you." Incredible!
Lovely, people like her are so deserving of everything that they have. Thank you for sharing your story.
Aww, that's so lovely! - and very kind :)
@Purple Citrine Sadly that was not the case. She was married at the time and a couple of months after depositing the check she noticed that she had not received a bank statement in the mail. (Keep in mind this was in the mid 1990s) She called the bank and they had mailed the statements. She asked of her balance and discovered her then husband had with drawn about $15,000 of it over a period of weeks. Needless to say the marriage ended quickly!
@Purple Citrine I hope your child is healthy and happy!
@Purple Citrine I'm not sure what you meant in your edit. There's nothing wrong with having a boy....or girl as long as they are healthy!
Wealthy friend of mine was accused of spoiling his wife, and without missing a beat he responded with “No shit. She’s my wife, not my daughter. I made the millions TO spoil her, and she played a big part on that.” #relationshipgoals
AND EVERYBODY CLAPPED!! #DIDNOTHAPPEN
@@cookiemorecookie4204 how do you know lol were you there? Are you their friend? Not every story that someone makes is fake. Many people do have very wealthy friends.
@@cookiemorecookie4204Oh Mr. cynic, who hurt you…? Some relationships actually ARE happy. Kind of inspiring for those of us who are still working on it…
Fine, I’ll add some context; older couple, well into their 50s and celebrating their 33 year anniversary. The comment was worked into a speech where someone was trying to heckle him (not a good look at an anniversary, but alcohol makes people do funny things), and this was his response. Maybe having a crowd helped, but for the record there actually was applause. Not a personal friend but someone I admire greatly. They also happen to be a mixed couple from an era when that came with complications, so I have a feeling this is definitely not the first time they took some flack for their relationship. They married while he was in the Air Force and the wealth came AFTER the wife. They really did built their life together.
Honestly though, why even marry someone if you feel you can't trust them? Like, I know you can't always know or tell that someone is a gold digger but if you are that worried about it and you are that rich, just get couples therapy. What that guy did to his wife was emotional and mental abuse. Being rich and afraid she was a gold digger doesn't excuse his actions. It would be one thing if he just got angry, kicked her off the plane, and filed for divorce. But to force her to live separately and shine lights in her room so she can't sleep, etc. is straight-up abusive behavior. How can someone have all that money and not have bettered themselves with therapy? Like out of all the people, they can definitely afford a good therapist, but nah, money made them perfect. 🤦♀️
@@Onyx-qd9tl That "wealthy friend of mine" turned into "not a personal friend" real quick - and you call people out for being cynical?🤔😆
My aunt worked part-time as a gardener for a very wealthy couple for years. The lady of the house (and she was a TRUE lady) always paid her well over what she owed. My aunt got all the hand me down furniture and was told to keep it or sell it, it was hers. Anything left over from parties the staff took home and the lady always made it a point to order MUCH more than they needed so the staff and their families would be well fed.
One day my aunt - who had been going through some very difficult times - had a breakdown in the garden. The lady found her, held her and insisted that my aunt lay out all her problems.
Not only did the lady pay off all of my aunt's debts on the spot, but she hired her a lawyer to settle another issue and a year later my aunt had a monthly income for life. She also got my aunt to some medical specialists to take care of some serious medical issues my aunt had been trying to work through on her own. The lady paid for all of her medical care and medicines until she got insurance - which the lady arranged for.
My aunt insisted on paying back the money and made payments until the lady died. It was found out later that the lady had put every cent aside and left it back to my aunt in her will. Cherry on top? She also paid off my aunt's house. Now my aunt is retired and VERY relaxed. lol!
This woman was kind to everyone she ever met. She had a grace and compassion that's extinct now. The world will miss her.
Money and age don't make you better or worse. Both will make you more YOU. If you were good and kind, you'll be good and kind in spades. If you were cruel and angry, you'll be much more so.
Rich people are just people with the freedom to be themselves.
That's a truly beautiful person
This made me want to cry, I'm so glad your aunt found someone as good as that lady.
I legitimately didn't think it was possible for people to be this way in real life. I genuinely thought that was behavior writers would create for fictional characters, and nothing more. My heart is very happy to hear this story
This made me tear up, that's a sweet story. I love it!
Thank you so much for sharing such a heart warming story. I was feeling a little meh before I read it but now I’m like yah
Love the woman who grew up rich and somehow still saw the ridiculousness of her parents' behaviour. She seemed very down to earth and intelligent.
She’s very familiar, I think I might know who she is.
the little girl who was like "we can just drive" because her mom was being dumb about coach sounds like shell be someone great one day
@@karenneill9109 Her name is Sara Henry. Her father is John W. Henry, who is the owner of the baseball team the Boston Red Sox.
Seems like bragging.
@kinikia
Exactly lmao. None of her attitude came across as humbled or down to earth. Sounded like she finally had an opportunity to flex without being called out lol.
When I was a baby, my mum worked for a rich Japanese family, tutoring the kids. One day, the Japanese mum asked my mum to go to the bank and translate for her. She wanted to withdraw about £20k and obviously the bank wanted to know why. Turns out she wanted to go shopping on Oxford Street and was factoring in the car parking fines for parking ON OXFORD STREET. Fines really are just extra charges for rich people.
I learned this when I went from making $30k/yr to 100k/yr. When I got a speeding ticket for $70 making less, I was visibly upset for weeks. When I got a $200 speeding ticket making more, I paid it and it didn't phase me. That's when I realized that fines are just prices for doing what you want.
Not a rich guy story but something along those lines.
This guy was caught speeding across rural Minnesota. Cop gave him a ticket. He hands the cop double in cash. Because he's also going to speed on his way back. This was in the 70's.
Yup
It just seems like she didn’t know her options. It would be much easier to hire a car and driver for the day.
Gotta tell a happy story. My late husband and I were staying in our little tiny cabin in Alaska. My husband was out all day on the tundra. A very elderly gold miner knocked on the door and I asked him to come in cuz that's what you do in Alaska. I gladly listened to his stories from long ago and offered him duck stew and fry bread.
Next day he comes to the door with a mayonnaise jar full of gold nuggets. He said pick all that you want and I'll get them put on your gold wedding band. I picked out 3 that were "cool". I thought I was just visiting with him and helping him pass the time.
My husband told me the gentleman was worth millions and would mine in the summer because he did it when he was poor and young.
My ring is one of a kind.🤗
Well now I'm craving duck stew! lol
That is AMAZING
That is an amazing happy story!
That is such a cool story, like u actually met a dwarf from a fantasy book digin sum gold and giving u sum, i would love to read a book like that.
What a beautiful story!!!!
I worked at a retirement home, and one of the residents was telling me about how married women and mothers should be home and not working. Of the 20 or so staff, 1 was a man (maintenance worker) and the rest of us were women, mostly mothers.
I looked at her and said “we’ll it’s a good thing we don’t all think that way, or you’d be homeless!” And it was like she had never even considered that thought before. The look of realization on her face was something else. Imagine being 90 and never learning those lessons.
Such an amazing clapback!!! Lol
Love it! Great response. 🤣
That is sad.
I love it! 😆
Mom's should raise their own kids tho.
“Imagine being so rich you could just give someone $12,000 dollars & not bat an eye.”
I honestly think that would be the very best thing about being wealthy. In fact, I’d probably lose a lot of my money from giving it to folks who need it.
Right? I already have a horrible habit when I go to New York City. I always end up spending whatever money I go there with offering it to the homeless. My mom has literally had to YELL AT ME as a child over it.. I mean…. Great that I was such a generous kid but.. 🤣 100 dollars down the drain in nyc isnt a great time either
NBA star Shaquille O'Neal does that, walks around handing out free stuff to people and tipping servers thousands of dollars.
I would definitely do things like that if I was that rich. Better than throwing 12k in a pool just to flex.
I always dreamnt of being not rich but wealthy enough to gave a monthly allowance to my mum and dad, some of my uncles, my cousins for their colleges and ofc pay for treatment to a lot of family members and i always wanted to give money to eldery homes and nurses so they can all have a nice life.
God bless you! And I'd do the same if I had the money. Lol
My next door neighbour seen me struggle for 6 years with a broken pelvis and hip was just bone on bone he found out the doctors wouldn’t help just pain killers he heard me crying one night the next day said get a private doctor and get the op done it’s on me! He saved my life tbh there’s nothing I can do to thank him it cost so much money I offered to pay back that would take years. He said no it’s on me! He is in his 80s no family wife died about 10 years ago. So I get him over for Christmas every year offer to drive him to any appointment and just be there for him. Blessed I never thought I would be out of pain
The lady who was given 12,000$ i can't even imagine. That was truly life changing. Im glad she was able to get that relief.
It sounds like she didn't accept the money
My favorite experience related to rich people is what I call the "I'm Moving Out" story.
I had a "friend" (read: acquaintance) whose parents had a mansion in one of the SoCal Beach cities. Multiple garages, gates upon gates, elevators, a theater, more rooms than one could count, an art gallery, multiple staff, the whole 9 yards. This acquaintance decided to host a little hangout session (about 5 people). Somehow, our conversation landed on us discussing how I had moved out to live on my own at 16. After hearing this, the host exclaimed "Oh yea! I forgot. I'm finally moving out!!". I, returning their excitement, decided to enthusiastically ask where they planned on moving. Their response? "The East Wing". After mistakenly inquiring about what I thought was a city called East Wing, the host gestured to the East side of the mansion. The host was moving from the wing their parents stayed in to a room on the other side "to be more independent". Although still quite a feat, I couldn't help but chuckle at the significant difference between our respective interpretations of the idea of "moving out". Still gets me.
Same moved out at 16 ,got my own council house with 3month old baby,makes u strong n u don't have to answer to anyone
If I could I’d move out, sadly I have only the east wing. Which to be fair is the two bedroom and shared bathroom in a 4 br house. Ig do what ya gotta do, but that associate could probably go anywhere in the world 😒
I went to a high school on a scholarship. Due to the scholarship program, like 50% of the students were broke and the other half was rich. There wasn’t really an in-between. So, we’d have very disjointed conversations. One that I remember is when we were talking about weight loss - I mentioned that my dad was trying to lose weight, but didn’t have the means to buy better food or any equipment. This one boy was like, “Just buy a treadmill. Those are cheap.” To which, half the class shouted incredulously. We spent the rest of study hall trying to explain that treadmills were not cheap to most of the population and that a family who could barely afford to put food on the table could not afford the $400 - $700 treadmills he was showing us. It didn’t click for him until we had a finance class - he apologized after that. Lol.
My HS was a mix as well, though not quite as blatant as yours. A friend and I overheard a group of other kids talking, complaining about having to do some cleaning at home. I thought they were just bitching about chores, until one said something along of the lines of "isn't that what the maid is for"?" It was said so causally, like it was normal to believe someone else's reason for existence was to serve you. I don't think I really understood class disparity until that moment.
@@RandomFandomDragon One of my friends' parents are missionaries, so they have been living in Sri Lanka for some years. It was very short notice so she didn't learn the language and goes to an english/international school. She said that most of her friends have never even prepared ramen in their lifetime, they have people who do that for them. She said some of them don't even know how to operate a microwave period.
I went to a elementary school that wasn't quite as insane as her school, but still pretty bad. It wasn't a 50/50 split, more like a 90/10 split (90 being rich kids). It was, very interesting, and the teachers all bullied the scholarship kids (except me for the most part, not totally sure why, I could give guesses but it wouldn't mean much). It was always the most interesting around breaks. My mom made sure we at least left town once a year and whichever break it was would be coming up and the teacher would say "is anyone traveling for the break?" and i would say yes and be excited and they or a student would go "which country?" sorry, HUH? WHICH COUNTRY???? I stopped raising my hand when they asked about breaks after a while.
Sounds like Indian Springs Alabama to me
@@nyandoesthings I’m sorry to hear that - that’s terrible! My school was unique and very dedicated to educating students on everything they needed to know. This included time management, bills, budgeting, but also social skills. They had really good funding and the scholarship program focused on students who wanted to learn but felt their education was stunted and wished to push themselves. Basically, you got a scholarship if you said. “____ sometimes stops me from learning more about my interests and growing the way I want to. I want to learn something new and the social/economic issue of ____ is preventing me from doing that.” The school actually put a stronger emphasis on the scholarship students, because 1) those kids needed it and 2) they were a new school and needed the success stories of people going from a kid with a limited access to education to someone with a plan for the future, stronger intelligence, and various unique/useful skills. The school even had a deal with a college to give anyone who came from the highschool a really good scholarship - meaning everyone who graduated either went to trade school, started a respectable career that did not require further education, went to a college of their choice, or attended the college with the scholarship.
I was the first graduating class in 2021. They’ve only gotten bigger. Went from less than 25 kids graduating in my year, to over 50 kids graduating this year. They just double in size each passing year. For good reason - the teachers care, anyone who attends is guaranteed a lot of good opportunities, they are really strict on the No-bullying policy, they encourage healthy discussions (the teacher treated the treadmill thing like a debate - actually was really well handled. She was respectful to all involved and due to her educational take on it… I think it actually taught kids a lot and actually made the class closer to each other. Had both sides quickly looked up supporting facts, state their arguments after calming down, and then lessons on classism were quietly added next semester) the curriculum is carefully designed so students can pace themselves/explore their interests, and the school itself is actually really good.
I’m actually currently good friends with the kid who said that- he’s gone from the classic, textbook rich jerk to someone who is empathetic, willing to listen, and has become much more educated on the world around him. He’s starting his own business, now. He’s been regularly going into the community and volunteering. He says he doesn’t want to lose sight of reality or what’s truly important now that he’s out of high-school and his own business is taking off. He said at one point he looked up and saw that everyone in his family who had money didn’t care about much else anymore. He told me he doesn’t want to be like that - so he schedules weekly hours of community service where he makes a point to look people in the eye and talk to them. He knows the business world is cutthroat and doesn’t want his life and morals to suffer outside of his job.
I know most schools aren’t like that - and I know it first hand. My city has a lot of classism, political, and discrimination issues that definitely impact the school environment. My high school was like a breath of fresh air - I wish more schools were like them.
To be fair, every treadmill/elliptical machine I've ever had was free, because the people who had paid a fortune for them never used them and just wanted to get them out of the house *lol* But yah...advice like "just get a dietician" or "just get a gym membership" or "get a Peleton!" is totally out of a lot of people's budget. Glad it clicked for that kid eventually that not everyone had his advantages.
The thing about the caregiver story is that a LOT of our clients (depending on the area and I work for mostly rich people) are definitely millionaires. HOWEVER, They are not paying us $15/hr. 😒 Our agencies are paying $15/hr but charging these people thousands a week for 12-24 hr care. My client pays my entire month's earning every WEEK. She's paying like $8k-$9k a month 🥴 It's too bad it's hard to find private caregiving opportunities.
I'm sure there's probably some contract that prevents her from just hiring you directly too
YES YES YES! I did this type of work as an L.P.N, home duty for extremely rich people and the agency made thousands a month while they only paid me for 13 hours despite me staying at the clients house 24 hour's a day for 5-6 days straight. I had no life and was so tired from being woken up constantly for he dumbest reason, like to change the channel. The most I made was 4500 a month and I just quit, it was too much and I was unappreciated.
@@WolvenDragonZ If they really like you they will pay to break the contract. That happened with close relative of mine. My relative ended up working for that family for 6 years until the client died. That family then refered her to their friends who also refered her to friends when their loved one died, and so on and so on... so she hasnt worked for an agency in decades.
Its such bullshit. In either position, it makes no sense.a waste of money for them and a severe trial to you
Very true. I know a person who was private for someone in Hawaii. She had enough to retire but loved that person and wasn't going to make them change unnecessarily. Love and respect to caretakers.
I know a rich family who are really generous. Whenever the family goes to private dinners at some 5 stars restaurants, they will always bring their 4 maids who will be sitting at another table, free to choose whatever they want to eat and drink. Of course, the maids are very well dressed like honourable guests. The family does not have to bring the maids along, but they always do. I think that is cool.
My wife works for an acquisition company. We went and financed her a new car. Her first payment was due but noticed it wasn’t deducted from checking. We called GMAC to ask if there was a problem. They said no problem at all and the title was on the way. Her boss and his wife went to the dealership and paid it in full. They told her not to worry because she deserved it. This is on top of a 50k plus salary per year. Really great people who appreciate their employees.
I don't need to be rich, I just want that magical notepad that fulfills you're grocery list! That's all I need in life.
It's called Amazon
Same my life would be so much easier if I had the magic notepad 😂
right? that is probably my most hated chore. I absolutely loathe food shopping!
She’d still only want spaghetti or tuna sandwiches. 🙄😂
That's what I tell everyone. As long as my kids are not hungry, they are warm and safe that's all I want. We don't like extravagant things. We're super simple ppl. We share when we have it to share and we don't have much. I just don't understand rich ppl
Rich guys story:
So my dad's best friend is crazy rich, he is also retired. He loves to go to the casino. They comp his suite, food,drinks and entertainment. If hes not at the casino hes on a yacht to gamble. When he gets bored which happens alot he gets his driver to take him to thrift stores.
Why you may ask?
He finds the cheapest clothing/toys and sticks a hundred in them. Then leaves them for others to find. Says this his way of giving a little happiness back. Great guy.
Which thrift stores? *taking notes*
@@joystorm5068 same 👁️👁️✨
I love this!
which state is the thrift store in?
Omg. That's very heart-warming.
My fiance was a MD yet when I started dating him, he was working for Lowes because he was tired of the bs in medicine. Keep in mind I am disabled and dirt poor but money was never important to me. He went back to medicine because he couldn't make enough working elsewhere and being a doctor does not translate into any other kind of job. We were at a store and I was ugrading my phone and my daughter's as well as adding him to my account. I had to make arrangements for my daughter's to be mailed to her because she was 6 hours away. As I'm doing this I'm chatting with the salesgirl about my daughter and telling her that she had graduated with a bacheler's for vet tech but couldn't get enough money to pay for her state boards ($700). When we finished without saying a word, he drove straight to a bank and got money from the ATM. He simply handed me the money still without saying anything. I started looking around and asked him where he wanted it. He looked at me surprised and said it was for my daughter. "Pardon me?" (He wasn't even near me when I was talking about her as he was browsing the store.) He said send this to her and tell her to get her boards. I called her crying and told her and her fiance on blue tooth in his car. He then went on to tell her not worry about the boards esp if she fails. He then surprised us by telling us that he flunked his boards twice and he was the best doctor I had ever known and a genius. He not only loved me but he took care of my adult children as if they were his own. RIP my love. I still miss your generous and caring nature.
Fuck holy shit. I am dirt poor disabled. But that's the thing. If faced with having someone like that and losing them, could I still take it? I fear not.
Over heard in a department store: I am so tired of coach. it seems like everything looks the same.
That's so sweet. I'm so sorry for the loss of your fiance 💔🫂
Bless you & your family🙏🏼❤️🩹
So sorry for your loss.
Hey, Charlotte! Just wanted to translate the “pamasahe” video for you and everyone else. Pamasahe means fare in Filipino. Basically when she and her rich friends meet up, she either uses public transport, a cab or an Uber/Grab which would usually cost her around 300 Philippine Pesos (approximately USD 6) but her friends would give her 1,000 Pesos (approx. USD 20) 😂 Hope this helps!
And here I am just thinking about how an extra $100 a month would literally change my life 😂
Hey, a guaranteed extra $100 a month would change MY life, and I’m pretty comfortable where I am.
Maybe it’s just that the capitalist hellscape sucks!
I'm so plebeian, I've never known or really been exposed to rich people. Hearing rich people stories is like stories about extraterrestrials.
I have a rich aunt and uncle and let me tell you, knowing them doesn't make it feel any less like seeing aliens.
I have a relatively wealthy Aunt. She is very mean and annoying. )She has always has been according to my mom. ) Money never changed her personal problems. If anything it made it worse because she always wants to look the part of upperclass and wealth. But she is just faking things.
Same here.
same...well we do live in different worlds so theres that
Same.......
As for the girl with the buzz cut who’s mom was worried about kidnappers: When that tik tok first went viral, internet sleuths figured out her dad is the multi billionaire owner of the Boston Red Sox. So, everything she said is most likely true.
Wow...
...Imagine her, probably deliberately not revealing her identity in the clip, and then people go and expose her anyway.
Gotta love humanity.

The "gold digger" one, there is a difference between
not being taken advantage of vs being financially abusive
Dude crossed that line
He went to straight up abusive with the light pointed at her bedroom to cause sleep deprivation. And let's not forget the kidnapping/unlawful imprisonment.
I’m surprised there aren’t more comments about that post. I get being cautious about your finances if you’re a billionaire, but that dude was straight up paranoid if a joke made him jump to that level. I’m glad that woman left him because he clearly needed mental help.
Yeah, I hope she got a nice chuck from that man. He wants a gold digger, well be a gold digger honey!
For real! That whole story was super fucked up
@@mambomta i know right he is an absolute monster
When I was young I carried groceries to people's cars and stocked shelves at the local market store...there was one family, who was not rich, and the dad was over 6and a half feet tall and built like a professional football player, but he would always tip us a ten dollar bill just to carry two bags to his car....he could've lifted me and the bags with one hand....so I asked him one day why....and he said bc it reminds him to be humble and teaches us to be grateful and open with anymore than you need. Great guy, better life lesson.
I was visiting a friend who was going to a VERY upscale college in NY. We met at an anime convention, so I had no idea about his family except what we talked about, which didn't really include anything that would have given me a clue to how INSANELY rich they were. We went to NYC for the day and my shoe broke. I'm like "Ah fuck, now I gotta buy new shoes." He just goes "I got it, it's no big deal." And I'm like ???. He's like "No, really. I don't even end up spending all of my allowance every month." And I'm thinking 'I guess that makes sense. This cannot be a cheap college, so his parents are probably well off and don't want him working so he can focus on studying." Then he says "Oh. Here's a shoe store!" and I get dragged through the tallest pair of doors I think I've ever seen into a store so sterile and perfect it's terrifying. This lady dressed like First Lady Barbie comes up and with the sweetest voice goes "Oh, sweetie, you need some new shoes!" Next thing I know I'm sitting on a couch staring at 15 pairs of designer shoes including Louis Vuitton. I don't know any other fancy shoe brands, but I recognized the red heels. Bro. I started PANICKING. My anxiety could not handle the potential guilt of letting a friend buy me shoes that I knew were worth at least everything I had in my wallet. God bless First Lady Barbie, because she realized what was happening, got another girl to take my friend to look at some other stuff, helped me calm down, AND helped explain it to him so I didn't have to seem ungrateful. He still insisted on buying me shoes, but we ended up going to a MUCH more reasonably priced store.
First Lady Barbie is a Saint!
My "favorite" oblivious rich person moment happened twenty+ years ago when I was working at an entry level customer service job answering phones. My husband contracted a rare disease and was suddenly paralyzed from his chest down and had to be in the hospital, and he had no health insurance because he had just started a new job. He had no disability pay either. We had a toddler to support and a mortgage to pay. I was beyond overwhelmed. My coworker, who knew all this, actually started complaining to me about the trustees who managed the $200K trust fund she had inherited because they wouldn't let her withdraw money from it to go on a cruise around the world.
Years and years later things had changed around for us and we were able to take our family on a cruise to the Bahamas. My son and I were exploring and happened to wander into an auction where the cruise staff told the people there that any artwork under $20K could just be added to their tab at the end of the cruise. Any art work over $20K they would have to pay for with a credit card right then. My son looked at me and said, "We're in the wrong part of the boat."
That’s not oblivious, that’s just douchey.
My god, that girl needed to learn how to read a room!

The $50 for fetching a wallet. I have experienced wealthy people do it too, and some of them do it on purpose in order to be able to give money to the working class as tips without seeming too condescending or rude. They know a $50 tip can make many people's day.
Exactly.
Oh wow i never thought that! That's actually so nice of them
This is a fact. I was working with a catering company and a lady asked to wrap a few gift for this extravagant 7 year olds birthday party.
She ended up tipping 80$ :P turns put she was the owners wife and had met him while working as a waitress there 10 years ago 😌☝️
The same lady also tipped another girl to make her a LARGE to-go box of food to take home after 😂👌
I would be that rich person that would NEVER buy luxury, I would still thrift, and leave $1000 tips for no reason. Which is probably why I'm not rich
That would be amazing. I would love to be like that too. Live comfortably but not excessively, and use my money to bless family, friends, and random people.
Were there actually justice in the universe, sensible and empathetic people would be rich and the greedy narcissists would be poor.
I think if was rich the most expensive stores I'd shop at would be Hot Topic and Pink that's it

I have a friend who is super rich, he's still driving the Audi he bought fifteen years ago and shops in Primark. He went to a Quaker School and learned to value people not things.
6:20 the arab guy post reminds me of a joke:
Rich arab dad sends his son to a university in europe. He's gets along pretty good and writes a letter to his dad: "Hey dad, university i great i learn so much stuff..." And ends his letter with: "But i feel a bit akward being chauffeured to university in my rolls royce everyday while all the other students arrive by tram."
A week later he receives a check over 10 Million € from his dad with the letter "SON! Here's 10 Million. Stop embarrassing us and buy yourself a tram!"

When I was in my 20s I had 2 children. When my husband left I couldn’t get a job that would pay for childcare so we lived on the dole. I had cardboard soles in my shoes to protect my feet from the holes in them. My kids always needed things so I couldn’t afford new ones. One day my mother was telling me how sorry she was for a woman she worked part time with who had been forced to turn off the central heating in 2 unused bedrooms and couldn’t afford goose fat to roast the Christmas turkey in. I lived in a dilapidated house with no central heating, double glazing etc and you could see through the floor to outside near the window. She never felt at all bad for me and her grandchildren. My mum was well off so she didn’t understand poverty.
I wish I were rich enough to help out a person in need just to make their life easier for a while.
I'm not rich- I live on $1000 a month, but I still randomly give $100 here and there to people in need. I'm lucky enough to have an income and no addictions :)
Please don’t let your lack of money deter you from helping others. I have never had gobs of money, but that has never stopped me from doing RAOK (random acts of kindness). For instance, when I go through the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant, if I have a little extra money I will pay for the food of the car behind me. I don’t stick around long enough for them to thank me because I prefer to do it anonymously. I just tell the person at window that if they ask just tell them that I said to have a great day and to someday pay it forward. It’s a win-win because we both leave with a smile on our faces! It has rarely cost me over $10, but the feeling I get is worth more than any money I have ever had! 😊😊
In high school I met a boy who was living with his retired grandparents. They bought him a computer but he wasn't into them. This was the early 1980s when very few people had one. He told his grandmother that I seemed to like it and knew how to operate it, so she had it delivered to my house. Due to that boy's distaste of the computer and his grandmother's consideration, I was able to get in on the PC revolution of the 1990s and have worked very well paying jobs ever since.
@@Farmer_El Good for you!! Isn’t it just crazy how one act of kindness and generosity impacted your life so significantly?!! We just never know what kind of positive impact we have on someone’s life. 😊

A couple years back, I served as a volunteer coordinator at a nonprofit. They brought in the heirs of one of the wealthiest families in the States to do charitable work and push their philanthropic foundation in our country. They traveled with a team of lawyers and other people, and every time anyone took pictures they got really nervous and wary. Little did we know, they’re always in danger (hence the apprehensiveness of the team for pictures) of getting kidnapped or being in a hostage situation, they don’t even have social media for those exact reasons. The thing is that they were really sweet and kind, as if they haven’t had that much interaction with “normal” people.

People who say: “money can’t buy happiness.” are people who have sufficient wealth to not have to make choices like rent or food, new shoes or electric bill, but insufficient wealth to avoid choices like Paris vacation or new car. And they’re just salty AF about that.
I think it's true that having money and nice things won't inherently make you happy, but having enough money to live comfortably is definitely a privilege and something that should make people happy.
Money can't buy happiness but it brings privilege in that it can buy you the space and time and relief from immediate worry to pursue the happiness.
That depends on the person. I am not rich at all, but I am not money hungry. I do not believe money can buy happiness, in fact I see it as extremely inconvenient.
It pays the rent, food and all that, but that's just to survive. You are relieved more than happy.
Happiness comes with the pursuit of your own personal goals, such as enjoying music, painting, travelling and being out in nature, etc. Not at the pursuit to own everything.
Rich people are also the ones who say it's impolite to talk about money. Yeah, when you have enough money to never worry about money I guess you don't need to talk about money 🙄
As someone in this position, yes, yes I am salty about it. I actually need a new car but instead we have a dog. Damn rich people being richer than me
My wife and I were only married a few years and we were struggling to make ends meet. My wife took a job waiting tables in a 24 hour Denny's restaurant. She was moping floors at 2:00am when a table of rich kids came in. They treated her like shit and did nothing about complain about being forced to be sent to Princeton University and how they hated their parents for making them go there. I cant imagine being "forced" to go to one of the nations top ranking Ivy League universities. Then pay for the meal with the dads credit card.
These are the kinds of stories that hurt me. I hope you and your wife are doing better now, that your hard work has paid off and you have found some comfort.👍
Because some rich parents see universities as, essentially, summer camp - a place to send the kids so that you don’t have to deal with them
Other would love to go to the University and they got buyed in .. its something unfair
Sometimes, when I realize I'm complaining about something stupid, like not knowing which shape of pasta to cook (spaghetti or mini penne) I'll think to myself "wow, first world problems, (in a whiny voice) I don't know what pasta to choose". That usually puts my mind back on being grateful that I have food instead of whining that I don't know which pasta shape to use.
I remember meeting a lady at church who was SUPER wealthy. She went on about her modest taste and lack of desire to show off her wealth… Her house was so massive, I could have fit my entire apartment in her foyer with room to spare. 😳 I was scared to touch anything!
That said, she was very kind. She even threw a baby shower for me when I was pregnant with my oldest.
My mom used to work for a wealthy lady, she donated a crapton of money to her church before she retired for "tax reasons"?? Like 50k. She's a very nice lady and used to send me birthday cardss every year. She also let my mom have all her furniture when she moved from her big house to a small apartment after her husband died.
I was facing a court battle with my son's dad & needed to pay a $1,500 retainer before I could get a lawyer. My mom's close friend offered to give me a cashiers check for the full amount & let me pay it off over 2 years. I gave her the first payment of $100 a month later & the following month was Christmas, she sent me a Christmas card with the promissory agreement inside & in big bold red letters it said PAID IN FULL. I bawled like a baby.
Now I’m crying too. So generous
As a teenager I was told "if you marry for money you will earn every penny." I never understood that until I became and adult and really looked at society. When have you ever seen a gold digger looking rachet? They have to dress to the nines and look physically fit and young at all times because their paycheck relies on they ability to look good on their spouse's arm and be ready for sexual conquest at a moment's notic. After a certain amount of time they get plastic surgery to keep them looking pretty/ handsome but eventually they get traded in for a newer model.
Rich guys are perverts. They’re used to getting everything they want so they have to get into more and more deviant behavior to get their rocks off. Keep that in mind….
I’ve heard it said, there are a lot of ways of paying for s*x.
During the pandemic, we were trying to reach people who had very little, had no jobs and had no access to food because of the lockdowns. We went to this rich conglomerate who I met only once, wrote a check for about $200k and told us that going through her charity would take too much time and people needed help immediately.
That definitely wasn't out of touch.
Money just makes you more of what you are. A jerk would be a bigger jerk and a charitable person would be even more charitable.
I worked at a high end hotel. One day I was cleaning the lobby and I overheard this family talking to their daughter about sending the daughter to a boarding school. The girl looked so miserable . I heard the mother talking about a all girl boarding school up in (England) . The mom said awww you'll love England . I went to that school and there is nothing wrong with that school its wonderful. I made eye contact with the girl who looked like she was ready to explode. I heard the father say you have a choice Switzerland or England which one. The girl sighed heavily and mumbled while looking at me .....neither. I started walking away and the father loudly whispers do you want to end up like that ....my face was red but kept walking.
I've got a really down to Earth friend who lived in an upscale neighborhood went to expensive schools. We hung out a lot (I was a penny pinching poor boy) and he got me someone's spare Lalapalooza ticket. We went with a bunch of rich kids. They were, for the most part, exceptionally chill and friendly. Well the driver got drunk and everyone was wasted and exhausted so I volunteered to drive her car from military base in Rhode Island to Connecticut. All her friends except for my buddy had met me that day so trusting the big, tattooed, bearded guy with long hair made them nervous. By the time we got to my house to drop me off they'd gotten my life story and we all got along. Months later the girl who couldn't drive was throwing a kegger and I was invited. Hanging out with a gaggle of drunk kids 10+ years younger than me wasn't an ideal saturday but free beer and cute girls in bikinis, okay. So here's the real rich people interaction. I was sitting in the kitchen to get away from the noise and occasional vomiting. When her dad came in. He grabbed some decent beer from the fridge (Bass ale, yay) and we sat there chatting. He's bitching that he's upsidedown on this 7 million dollar house and can only sell it for four million. I'm laughing and he starts to get angry when I explained how I was going to eat PB&J for a week because I bought gas and a small present to get to this party and he sat there with his jaw on the floor. He'd never met a poor before.
What happened next? He just left and didn't learn anything right?

Y'all...I used to save a few fresh pairs of socks from the bag when I bought those big 10 pk women's Hanes socks for just those days.
A totally fresh, soft, stark white, new, pair of socks always made me feel better. I still tend to save one pair of whatever brand of socks I'm wearing at the time...sounds funny, but I have a condition called Raynaud's (extremities get and stay cold, often painfully so) and I have bradycardia (low heart rate) as soon as I sit or lay down, so my feet are cold frequently. Fresh socks where the fluff hasn't been washed away as lint and the loft hasn't been crushed by my weight (the part that holds heat) just feels extra decadent. Extra so because I have fibromyalgia which makes me hypersensitive.
When I'm upset or on a bipolar hypomanic phase I'll go Amazon pre-shopping. I'll get all excited about a project or plan and getting things. I get to plan the task, steps, and what I need to buy; then I shop for what I need and add it all to my cart. Then I budget if it ends up too expensive and I get to bargain hunt. When I'm done I move everything to, "save for later," and keep it there if it's a project I'm likely to commit to in the very near future, and if it's not then I send the items to a wishlist, and sometimes I just delete everything before sending to, "Save for Later."
Years ago, before the lactose intolerance, my high school/college sweetheart and I would go get nice, big, fancy, expensive (for college kids), ice cream scoops in waffle bowls from Coldstone Creamery after we had brutal weeks in the art department and needed a boost before getting back to the grindstone. No class on the weekends, but we were expected, almost required, to spend most of the weekend in the building working on our projects outside of class time. It was brutal and I don't miss how some of the professors acted like slave drivers.

I met a Saudi Prince that was about 14 years old. He flew over on his 747 with about 20 people in his entourage. Body guards, money people, etc. People were flying back and forth to Saudi on his 747 all week. They rented out 3 floors of the hotel so he would not hear anyone above, below, or next to his room. 3 Limos 24/7 on standby at the hotel entrance. Insane money. Billions.
a former co worker of mine had previously worked for an airline. A Saudi billionaire 's plane came in to be serviced and before anyone was allowed to work on it, all the gold sinks and jewel encrusted fixtures, etc were removed so it wouldn't be stolen by the repair staff.

Growing up, my mom had a friend Rita. Rita eventually married this guy, and his sister (her sister-in-law) married a VERY well compensated football player. This guy owned nice condos in every major city he played in, and a HUGE estate in Santa Barbara on the beach. I used to spend part of my summers at that estate, because Rita and her husband were the caretakers, managing this gorgeous place because the owners were NEVER HOME. Like...never. The estate had 3 houses besides the caretakers house. The main house which had an indoor waterfall in the pool room, a swimming pool off the living-room that came inside the house under a huge curved window and one of the guest houses was half hanging off the bluff over the private beach below. Eventually (because they never used it) the couple rented out the main house and guest houses to Dan Ackroyd for a few years, and my mom got to hang out with him and his wife. It was interesting, seeing what rich people could take for granted.
I was once in a friend group in college. They all are rich but not like extremely rich. They shared a paying apartment while I stayed in the free dorms. I used to hangout with them in their apartment and I would see them just carelessly putting lots of money (like money worth my total budget of like 2 weeks) on random couches, cabinets. They spend a lot and they kinda covers for me also when something is out of my budget. They are the nicest group of girls I've ever met... one time I went grocery shopping with one of them and she used her mom's debit card to pay and she was like "grab if you want anything, my mom doesn't check the bill" Even though they were rich, they were so down to earth. zero toxicity. Zero judgment even though i was like super poor back then.. ❤️
My aunt married a man who came from a wealthy family but he was frugal as hell. She had to have a few thousand dollars saved up on her own before he'd get married and he was a genius with money. Her MIL even left her a separate amount so she wasn't completely financially dependent on my uncle. She had always been incredibly generous with her time and money and gifts, but when he passed suddenly it's as if she realized her time was short as well and she no longer had to be frugal with that generosity. Any of us that had college loans, she'd give $14,000 tax free gifts for Christmas, she hosted open bar wedding/baby showers, sent huge bouquets of flowers to everyone for every occasion and was just incredibly personable and affectionate and loving with everyone. She was the type of person who would tip $50 for a single pizza delivery. She had paperwork to set up college accounts for some of my younger cousins and my two kids, but she also died very suddenly. I don't think she ever got out of touch because she knew that the rest of us were still in her former financial reality. Their only (and incredibly ungrateful) child started selling and throwing things out pretty quickly once everything was his.
That daughter in the airport was probs so chill cause she had to do that sort of management of her parents all the time. Similarly I had to manage my brother and mothers communications because they would often trigger one another and I was the one who could translate what the other meant effectively for that person.
My mom was a Karen when I was young, and I had to apologize for her unruly behavior all the time.
I do that for my fam too

I have a friend that while not supper wealthy is obviously in a higher tax bracket than myself. One day in a conversation I had mentioned that it had been quite some time since I had my hair professionally cut, let alone having all that extra stuff done (nails and such). Her response was that I just needed to go - that I deserved it. I didn't say anything but remember thinking "NO, I do not! I don't deserve wasting money on myself that is needed to put food on the table for my kids."
My parents are rich but my dad was obsessive about never paying for anything, paranoid about people taking his money, to the extent that he presented us kids with market rate bills when we were kids and he tried to charge my brother for the whole utility bills for all three of them when he was staying with them briefly after his marriage broke down. Me and my ex husband were paying for our own wedding and explicitly said a number of times that we did not want a single penny from him because we didn’t but we did not have very much money so were planning a small wedding. He got angry that our cheap wedding would make everyone think that he was cheap even though he was also angry about the idea that he would contribute even though we had not asked and had in fact told him repeatedly that we did not want any money from him and that we wanted to pay for it ourselves. We had a very small ceremony but I agreed to actually plan a much bigger and more expensive wedding reception than either of us actually wanted and that we struggled to afford and so couldn’t afford to pay for everyone who came to the actual ceremony’s lunch so we just asked close people if they wanted to have an informal restaurant meal with us inbetween the ceremony and the reception where we all paid for ourselves. My dad refused to come because he didn’t want to end up paying for everyone and then on the day my mum had a huge big hysterical breakdown outside the ceremony because she didn’t want to go without him.
When you're trying to bill your literal children, that's when you know money has become your actual idol.
So, let me get this straight. Rich person can be accustomed to a certain life style, but their spouse who didn’t start rich is not allowed to also get comfortable with that life style?
Yeah I don't understand the logic either. Imo, the "poorer" spouse should force the "richer" spouse to live like the rest of us, but even that is nicer than purposely preventing someone from getting any decent sleep. If it was between sleep and billions, I'd choose sleep and peace of mind any day.
"She's a gold digger! She just wants you for your money!" Meanwhile they use their money as a means to get that relationship. I don't understand the problem there

Those of us who can cover the rent, the utilities, feed the kids, buy one of them new shoes, and still have enough left over for a treat trip to McDonalds would be considered fabulously wealthy in many parts of the world (quite probably including our own part).
And that's what's up. Nothing is that different from middle ages distribution of wealth. It was different in the 80s and now world is back to kings and queens and peasants who starve. Mind you middle ages peasants received more free time and holiday day than modern American employees and their diets had to be good so they could work as hard as they did. So yeah.
@@anna8328 Depends which peasants. Some had to serve while also keeping their own household/farm at home.
Here in Latvia some would have to do lots of labour for their lord, usually working in their fields (essentially to pay for living on land that belongs to the lord), yet also try to find the time to tend their own farms so they'd have something to feed their families in the winter. That was the average peasant here :D

I once travelled with a very wealthy and very humble gentleman ( Global Forbes 100 wealthy at the time, today he is within the Global Forbes 30, about 100,000 people working world wide for his companies) and his very nice wife.
We flew business class, although there was executive class available.
He didn’t want to spend the money on executive class, as he said, he felt that that was too expensive for just 7 hours flight.
He doesn’t own a private jet, as he believes it is a waste of money and it is far more dangerous than flying commercial.
When he turned 70, he had invited some of the 20 richest people in Europe for a barbecue, simple sausages, steak, beer and red wine.
Humble and very down to earth, no big fuzz and everybody enjoyed it to have a barbecue day like “common” people would have - it felt therefore special to all participants.

A long time ago my mother got her hair cut by a lady named Jackie Oh. He place was called Jackie Oh's.
One day a lawyer walked in and severed her papers. She was getting sued by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis!
Onassis claimed that no one else had the right to use her *NICK NAME*
The judge not only disagreed with this most vehemently, the judge lit into Onassis about suing hard working Americans.
It worked out, the lawsuit generated quite a bit of press locally and Jacki Oh ended up getting so much more business she had to open as second, then a 3rd shop. And ended up hiring a bunch of people.
She would be happy to cut anyone's hair. Well anyone other than a certain former First Lady.

This just happened to my Husband a week ago. He was shopping at a grocery store and he had a lot of shopping so when this older lady got in line behind him he let her go in front of him cause she only had a couple of things. Then this guy got behind him and he was only buying gift cards so my Husband let him go in front of him aswell. He asked my Husband are you sure 3 times and he said yea. The guy wound up buying $300 in gift cards so I guess he had money. My Husband was ringing out and the guy was still standing there and started to put his card in the credit card machine and my Husband said sir sir that's for my stuff thinking he was doing it as a mistake. The guy said yea I know and paid for all his groceries. The total was $90 and the guy paid for all of it.
Ooh, idea for how to pay it back if I ever get rich.

The best part about the wealthy woman helping the recently divorced mom? I loved the fact that this honest, struggling mom paid the woman back. She didn't take it as a free hand nor expect it to be free. I've encountered plenty who want everything for nothing. The 'backstage opera crowd', I call them. All caterwauling, "Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Meeeee!!"
This! It's definitely annoying. I was never wealthy. Nonetheless, I do have more means than the average person. There was this woman I helped once because she was pregnant, couldn't have an abortion and already had a 6yo son. I gave her enough to go through her pregnancy and upto one year for the 3 of them. She came back 2 months later saying that she needed more because she miscalculated and she actually needed more (3x more) I knew she was lying. I knew it because what she was asking me was what I would spend (married, several children and in a more "luxurious" environment) in one year. I pulled it off by asking her to give me the phone number of her landlord so that I would wire transfer her rent directly to him (giving the excuse of it being a large sum again and that I needed to do that for my IRS statement - not in the US but the equivalent here) She said she'd send it once she got home and then she disappeared. It took me a long time to trust anybody again since I also found out that she did have an abortion BEFORE I even gave her the money the first time. I sometimes think about her son, he should be 14 now.

Not wearing appropriate clothing in winter, wearing very tight shoes because no money for new ones; I remember freezing under several blankets during winter because of no heat, not eating properly etc. I realize that I can give more to my own children. Nonetheless, I know that I'm not wealthy. Because being wealthy means to not be in an absolute need to control your monthly and yearly expenses. I can't afford that. But yeah, I have more than some other people do.
PS: when I helped her, I had to limit my own expenses. I gave her help because her situation reminded me, in some way, of my mother's.
I was a medical resident (13 + years of uni and 2$/hour in residency) and I was visiting friends and family in Montreal. My partner at the time had just lost his job and I was telling a friend of mine how stressed I was. She (from a wealthy family) had just married into another wealthy family. Her response to me was that she was stressed about the color of her 20000$ (a pop) couches. She wasn’t sure if blue was the right choice 😂😂😂. That was a terminal event for us
Wealthy does not automatically mean high class.
It also doesn’t mean they are greedy, selfish, high maintenance people. For example, my uncle is a multi-millionaire. But he and my aunt are the nicest people. They have never flaunted their wealth in an obvious way except their home. And their is pretty modest compared to other “rich” people’s homes.
Totally right
That 12,000 story was just so lovely and the fact she paid her back!
There's a difference between rich people and WEALTHY people. I've worked for both cleaning houses and businesses. The rich people act like you're dirt but the wealthy treat you like family. They've taken care of me to where I'll never have to work for a "rich" person again by doubling my pay.
My parents always told me “rich is loud wealth is silent” truly wealthy people don’t speak out like that. Who you hire to help is not just a pain walking around and that you boss around they have your best interest in heart because you have their best interest at heart if they have a problem in their life you help with it just like they help with every single one of your daily problems and that is why Rich is loud and wealth is silent and how I became friends with my nanny and wait staff and why I hate everyone I grew up with and work my own way
I'm in the UK and used to have a job where I dealt with wealthy people. You could always tell the difference between old wealthy and new rich.
Maybe because wealthy people have more to hide...
That is what the boat versus yacht woman made me think of! In terms of wealth it goes: boat owner < yacht owner < “boat” owner.
I used to work in an old English stately home.
The residents were all elderly and very wealthy.
They were all actually really nice. They were mostly from old money.
One day every Christmas week, they used to serve us our work’s Christmas dinner.
It was a fun occasion for everyone involved.
They would then all put money together as a Thank you for everything that we did for them.
It worked out to be the equivalent of several weeks wages.
They would also find out what our favourite drinks were, and get us a big bottle each.
It was really nice to be so appreciated.
I used to work with a woman who was a nurse that came from wealth. Her grandparents, several generations removed, were from two of the families of men on “The Men Who Made America.” She was the nicest person and never flaunted her money. Her family was incredibly generous with their wealth to charitable causes. She was an amazing nurse. Wiping peoples bottoms was not beneath her. Just a wonderful human being. When her spouse died, the church service was filled to the brim with people. It was in a huge church built in the 1800’s with carved woodwork and stunning stained glass windows. You could pick out the wealthy mourners from us regular folk!😂 She has gone on to do work on saving elephants and practicing/teaching yoga. She went overseas for her yoga training.
The 2nd story is SOOOO SWEET! I love kind hearted humble wealthy people! 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
Right?! I cried
So, I worked at a dry cleaners and we had a contract with Al Copeland (Owner of Popeyes & Copeland’s Restaurant, and Cheesecake Bistro) to pick-up his dry cleaning and return it. Since a lot of the stuff was for his wife and rather expensive, only a select few were allowed to deal with his order. One day I was tagging the clothes and emptying the pockets when I pulled out a rather thick bank envelope. I didn’t open it, but brought it straight to my boss and told him he might want to call Al. When I came in the next day there was an envelope for me that said “(My name), thanks so much. This is yours. Al”. My boss asked if I knew how much was in the envelope and I said no as I hadn’t opened it. It was $5,000! HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH MONEY THAT YOU JUST FORGET $5,000 IN YOUR POCKETS?! As a reward for being honest and turning it in, Al gave me $300. Super sweet guy.
And I thought I was lucky for finding $20 in my dad's pocket when I did laundry. I gave it to him and he handed me back $5.
Making your spouse fly any other seat than the one next to you is just sad... I wouldn't care if it's first class or coach, I just wanna be next to someone I love 🥺
Funny enough, its actually really common that people will book first class for them and their spouse, the kids? They get to fly where ever.
I love to hear stories about a rich person being generous with someone who truly needs/deserves it. However, that’s not always the case. And, sadly I know this firsthand. I have a brother and sister who are both very well off. My brother owned a multimillion dollar company and my sister and her husband pull in tens of thousands of dollars a month. But, I chose to marry a good man and we raised 5 sons. We lived from paycheck to paycheck, and had no savings. I was a stay at home mom. Now, did I ever expect them to just give me money? Heck no! They worked for it, I didn’t. However, when my precious son died 17 months ago (Covid killed him), he had lost his job when his employer had to close. So, when he died he had no life insurance. We are paying for his funeral, but we don’t have enough money to pay for a headstone for his grave. I talked to my brother and sister to see if they could help us out. They both have him-hawed around telling me stuff like they’re putting their kids through college, etc., but neither have talked about giving us a dime. I truly wish that I was talking about someone else, but unfortunately that’s my life. So yes, being rich may be nice, but it sure can’t buy you a caring heart…
(Sorry, I didn’t intend to write such a bummer comment…)
I'm so sorry for your loss, you seem like a very caring mother and I wish you many blessings in the future
I'm sorry for your pain in losing your son. Thanks for sharing your story!!
No doubt that you're exponentially richer and wealthier than they are. They just have more money. More money makes you more of what you were already. In the end, you win.
@@marisan8265 Thank you, Mari, for you kind and caring words. They truly mean a lot to me… 😔
@@DebiQ1830 Thank you so much. And you know what, you’re right. You helped remind me that while they may have more money than I do, their lives don’t necessarily reflect that it made them any happier. My brother has been divorced twice, and my sister is married to a jerk-which is why she drinks a lot of wine every day. But, my wealth and blessings are that I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 48 years (I was 17 and he was 18) , we raised 5 amazing sons, and over a 15 year period we took in over 60 foster children-one of whom we adopted (he’s one of my 5 sons). We may not have had much money to share, but we definitely had, and still have, a whole lot of love to share.
So, thank you again for helping me remember that. Since my precious son left us I haven’t thought much about my blessings. Maybe now I can think about them a little more…
I am so heartbroken over your son. No one should experience burying their child. Your siblings are assholes of first order.
First, regarding the Lady canceling her wine and caviar, it shows that she can make money, but she's not keeping any of it. Ultimate fail. As an electrician, I've been in dozens of mansions that are perfect from the outside but on the inside they live with mattresses on the floor, card tables and folding chairs and blocks and boards for shelves. It's insane.
Wait what?! Say more!!!!!
Regarding the "One Rolex" segment: It's all about where you set your eyes. That fellow was looking at what he felt was his competition rather than the vast majority of the world.
I didn’t want to be like “oh no, poor rich guy :(“ but I do feel for him. He just doesn’t understand how fortunate he is, I hope he came to the realisation after his bout of depression.
Great comment and observation!!
Oh he'll naw, if my husband wants me to prove I ain't a gold digger, he's sitting in coach WITH ME! He's going through the fanciest drive-thru's WITH ME! He gonna learn real quick that I don't need the money because I lived low-income all my life, but he can't live without his gold! Lol
those are psychos
My husband works in a field that is around rich people quite a bit. We end up getting given so much things because of this because they replace things so frequently. My father in law got this whole outdoor A/C cooler/fan for free. It's amazing in the 100°+ weather.
As much as I love luxury and being spoiled by a man, I love the fact that I can afford to spoil myself. 💰👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾❤️
I use to work in Princeton. You haven't even nicked the surface of rich people behavior. There some seriously out touch, entitled, weird, and freaky behavior by the rich people I've crossed paths with. I still smh when I think about it.
What’s the wildest “weird and freaky behavior” that you can recall witnessing? This sounds like it might be super interesting!
You can tell from my name I love Princeton. Met my husband freshman week of freshman year. His family thought I was a maid illegally in the country looking for a rich American to marry. We started dating in 1977. Bizarre rich people does not beginning to scratch the surface.
One night when my son was 9, he got sick at night, leaned over the rail of his loft bed, and vomited from 6 feet off the ground. Not gonna lie, I was ready to just rip out the carpet and replace it 🤢 thank goodness for my husband and his strong EMT stomach for cleaning that mess up.
With my two kids I learnt a few tricks (which I also used when caring for a profoundly disabled little girl). The masks we've all been using for several years now? Check. Chewing on a peppermint lolly or gum? Check. Simultaneously breathing through mouth not nose (yes, it can be done)? Check. And, finally, a little peppermint or eucalyptus oil diluted in Vaseline and wiped around the outside of the nostrils.
Adding disposable gloves to the mix, I have also been able to care for the needs of my dying mother and even dispose of rodent/snake carcasses. I know this is a lot of info, but people hate it if you gag and feel so ashamed... if, as far as they know, you are mainly using mask/gloves for hygiene purposes it will make a lot of difference to them. You keep a straight face and everyone's dignity is covered, in the case of people, and with newspaper and several large plastic bags you can tackle the worst other kinds of smell efficiently.
I just re-read this and realise that I am one set of plastic bins and hydrochloric acid away from sounding totally socio, LOL, but I assure you as a person with a terribly easily triggered gag reflex this info has helped me deal with all sorts of everyday yuckiness. :-)
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 lol I love your helpful response! Thank you. Now if I could look at vomit without retching, I'm otherwise prepared. 🤣
Side note to the puke situation 🤮. Use coffee granules. They soak everything up and mask the smell enough to be able to clean it all away easier.
Wish I knew this sooner; good tip!
Coffee grounds and even un-brewed coffee is frequently what paramedics and other first responders use the get the death smell out of a house/structure. Only reason I know this lovely fact … dated a paramedic and my bestie was married to one. And I thought nurses liked to tell gross work horror stories. Trust me … there are some odours you never forget! My brain turned the dead smell on while I was thinking about writing it. Of course, works on vomit too. And cat poop …
thanks for the info
Thanks for the tip, really helpful.
That story with the husband who feared that his wife was a golddigger... I really hope she could get back at him for that. He imprisoned her (if i remember right) and made it impossible for her to sleep. Amongst other things. Even if they were married, that has to have legal problems right? RIGHT?
I only realised how rich my uncle was when I got older because as a kid you don't really understand but I knew visiting them was always fun (he was renting a castle-esque mansion one time when we were visiting them, wish I could experience that again now i'm older i'd appreciate it alot more😅) I'm glad I was so unaware though because I grew up acting normal around them, then later on in my adult life when I was experiencing some awful stuff and almost became practically homeless my dad talked to my uncle and his wife and they loaned me 30k to be paid back indefinitely just so I could land on my feet.
It's not like we're incredibly close but they still decided to help me, forever grateful for their generosity.
I always say eat the rich but obviously some are aware of how fortunate they are and can be incredibly nice and generous.
I remember figuring out I was the poorest person at a table once when I realized the people I was with actually used real plumbers.
My husband IS the plumber! 😆😆😆
Okay, as much as I razz on gold-diggers, there is a difference between gold-digging and simply enjoying what money can buy.
Facts. That woman had already married him and was being taken care of. If she was expecting to never fly commercial again, she clearly had no intention of divorcing him. So I don't get why he was so butt hurt lol
Seriously that’s so weird
The sleep deprivation was waaaaay too far. Like they both were under the impression they'd stay together for ever so wasn't she correct when she made that statement?
@@Lill2895 it seems to me that this little rich man cant handle a joke
I know a few rich families and are close with them. But the funny thing is, there's this one woman whom I'm close with, despite the fact of her coming from a pretty wealthy family, she would always say something like, "No, that's too expensive, let's just look at the lesser brands! They're bags too, right?" and I was, like, "But you have the cash, right?" She would just give me "the look" and say "Shut it, girlie. I'm saving."
Man, I wanna be like her!
That woman on the phone at the airport? I would've walked up to her and said, Lady...we don't want you here, either! LMAO
I go to a private high school, where many of the families are quite wealthy, even if they aren't super rich they can afford to have large houses in nice areas, regularly go on vacations out of the country, etc. One time in my English class, we were discussing a scene in Romeo and Juliet, and to give us a comparison for Juliet's servant, my teacher said this "Of course we don't have servants today, *but I'm sure you all have cleaners* and it would be like that, someone around to help." I sat there in shock because I've never had cleaners, and made eye contact with another girl sitting in a row in front of me, we both stared at each other with looks of shock (we've talked to each other before and she's mentioned she doesn't have much money). In the days following that I started to realize that a lot of other students did live a more wealthy lifestyle, at least to the point where a literal teacher would be comfortable assuming that we all had people to clean our houses for us.
A late Danish billionaire always said "Money can't buy you happiness, but they can ensure you have a lot of fun while you are unhappy".
I was recently at a party with a bunch of rich people. I had to dress up my job title a little bit (technically truthful, just made it sound ~fancy~), and was wearing a cheap dress that happened to look great for the price. Hosts later told me their friends had liked me. I still don't know how I managed to blend in
My mother and I worked in an assisted living facility together but on different floors. On her floor she had an extremely wealthy woman who had never even brushed or flossed her own teeth. She had hired someone who did that for her throughout her entire life. She was well into her 90s when she died and had never once brushed or flossed her own teeth.
*blink, blink* Wooooow, I kinda have no words…
The lady who gave the $12,000 was an absolute selfless human being. The fact that the banker had the pride to pay her back is beautiful.
My family, and I,all served in the Navy. Our mother always made sure we flew first class because we served for our country. One we discharged, we were allowed to live rent fee for six months as a breather. However, when our six months were up, we had to have a job. Specifically in our fields of service. Non of us died, but we managed to find jobs that paid us well.
uh... ok? lol
I went to a rich kid school while being considered a “poor” kid. A kid in a higher grade parked his *brand new* bmw 2 seat convertible over dry leaves. His car caught fire, he had a brand new one the next day.
Oh! I also went to a school with a lot of rich kids (I wasn’t one of them). A girl in the grade above me took her brand new car (I don’t remember the brand, but it was expensive) for a joyride and flipped it. She had a new one by the next day. Rich people really are something else. I once had to spend over an hour explaining to someone that I didn’t belong to a country club lol.
My best friend's dad does interior remodeling in Connecticut, her mom would help clean houses on weekends (she was a nurse the rest of the time). People would give them things for free all the time. Tiffany necklaces, big screen tvs, furniture, etc... On top of this, my friend went to a very expensive private art college and had over $60k in debt. One of the ladies her parents did things for paid for it. All of it. Just paid it off.
Imagine not having much money and taking out a loan to help someone in need that you barely know. That was my dad, may he rest in peace. He did this more than once in his 82 years here on the earth.
My dad also loaned money to friends and neighbors. He said pay it back when you can. Everyone eventually did.
@@janethohenberger5517 my dad would go get loans to do it though that is rare
One of my cousin went to China once with a group of friends. She was at a restaurant, when a young man approached the group and started talking and complimenting them. He then asked if one of them wanted to be his wife, was ready to pay the equivalent of 5000000 dollars. My cousin and her friends refused, completely freaked out by the situation. They were pretty sure the guy just wanted a one night stand.
My phone froze at 4:30 and I thought Charlotte was just staring at us and after 30 seconds… I was like “uhhhhhhh she is froze or am I froze???” HAHAHAHHAA 🤣
