I worked with many CEOs and quite wealthy people and it's amazing how many of them DON'T wear designer clothes. When I was young I asked about that and answer was simple 'I don't need to prove anything to anyone'.
Yup. Also, there’s a difference between Old Money and New Money. Old Money doesn’t need to brag about anything AND it knows how not to waste money on things. New Money wants to show off to try to impress people who usually don’t care.
I used to work in the Trust Dept. for a major bank. Our clients were the ultra rich; I mean Robber Baron, generational wealthy and if you met them on the street you wouldn’t be able to tell that they were rich. One of them told me that they don’t waste their $ on frivolous things. If the did, they would quickly lose the wealth they inherited.
In my experience, people who go out of their way to flaunt wealth have no class, and people who try to act like they have class, generally don't. Laurie is a good example of both types.
26:35 - So Laurie has a closet full of Gorgio Armoni bags and doesn't realize they're fakes? So much for being high class. Edit-yes, I misspelled the name on purpose.
I don't get why people like Laurie exist who care so much about designer stuff. 90% of the population doesn't even notice, and you generally don't want the attention of those who would care anyway. It's also often very easy to achieve exactly the same looks with less expensive items to the point that the only way even a trained expert would know the difference is if they were examining what you had from six inches away or closer, and really, who's going to do that?
There are considerable numbers of people who feel these types of things are just the very identifiers that they value to define who they are (or perceive themselves to be). Rather an empty existence
I'rather wear something that isn't brand name. The same like bags and stuff. That way I dont have to think about watching it carefully. I can throw my bag the way I want and dont have to think will I da age it. Also that worths for the clothes too. Why would I want to throw money just because someone's famous name on the item? But there are people who think that they are better if they buy those stuff even if they have nothing to eat. I gave my Coco Chanel purse to my friend. It was a small bag and I cant put almoust anything in it. She gave me the bigger one.
Here in my neighboorhood is there also a walking copy of Laurie. She is always looking if someone wears brand items. Most of times she looks at it after fitness or so. And then she badmouting the people where did they do it from bla bla bla. I am a vitage lover and when I see something cool in the shop I try it and most of times I buy it. But I,m not even looking at the label yeah the washing label😂 She looked my winterjacket online because she found out the Jacket was from KC. I said yeah cool huh buyed it at the vintage shop here for 4 euro🤪 She was quiet right away. Think she was running to the shop. Before she would never take a foot in it😆
So her husband "doesn't understand women" since he doesn't want her wasting money because she can't tell the difference between needs and wants.....hmmmm
I have a handbag costs around 500 INR I think. It holds 1L water bottle, one set of dress, umbrella sometimes and other important emergency stuffs. I’m using it for morethan 4 years . Still no damage. Worth the price. Sometimes cheap one is the best than the luxurious one. 😊
Never got the appeal of extreme luxury or designer objects. Like, now you've got yourself a headache. All food, drink, and motions must be fussed over. Then some of them should be insured. Then there are safety considerations. What about kidnapping? You've made yourself a target for scumbags. It's all just a damn headache. I would love to be rich, but I would drive a Toyota and live in a modest house that I would gut and make it luxurious inside. The one thing I would splurge on is services- pawncare, cleaner, laundry, etc. Pay well and appreciate those folks. But I don't like the flashy, blingey things. They seem like 1) narcissist's calling card or 2)deep insecurity + maintaining appearances (moat of the time both).
Divorce is a a bit overkill, especially when Laurie’s husband isn’t an angel (Laurie is too shallow and her husband isn’t honest with her) They should at least try marriage counseling before considering divorce. Now the sole custody thing is beyond overkill. Laurie has her flaws as a person but as a mother, she’s not neglectful or abusive and is very involved with her kids’ lives. It was cruel of her husband to take full custody. They should have gone for split custody.
A couple of bags to depend on what I need. All these fancy bags, prices get bigger and they get smaller. I just need a bag to fit the basics, bottle of water, wallet, phone... some of the bags, like a clutch purse, what on earth do I put in that? Very little I guess 😂
That's so true! You can buy a house and it's nothing but wood and brick and stuff. A HOME is where the heart is. It's comfortable...full of love and laughter...full of family and friends and fur babies. It's warm and inviting, a place where people WANT to be and has "life." I've been in some fancy designer homes but it was just cold. Pretty spaces but not warm and inviting. There's a difference for sure.
This is not a believable reason for parent to lose custody nor is it a good reason for divorce. Maybe open communication. Therefore would not recommend.
Just because you have money, you do not need to flaunt it. There are plenty of things you can, to get a better reputation. Local groups helping others, looking at ways to be kind & learn new things. Expand the brain and assist where you can. More to life than expensive stuff, expanding the brain and learning are great.
Whatever else Laurie is, she isn't upper class. More like nouveau riche. Genuine upper class generally wear classic clothing that never goes out of style and may well be 40 years old. Often the same can be said for their accessories - I've known a few over the decades and you'd never know to look at them who they were - which will be well made, genuine and often years old. I've also known more than a few nouveau riche and they are just like Laurie, always wearing brand name clothing, buying the latest fashionable accessories including vehicles and boasting about their holidays in this resort or that continent.
It builds to about the halfway point on those that clock in at 35 minutes or under. For those that clock in at 40-45 minutes, you need to about three-quarters of the way to get to the karma.
I will never be able to understand the fascination that a lot of women have with hand bags, I always considered them to be more like a saddle bag. I prefer to travel light and travel quickly.
We only have 100+ years in this life(it we are lucky). I dont blame anyone who wants to live the best life they can. However, being rude and spiteful is not the way to live life.
Yeah. I don't understand why anyone would pay through the nose for a handbag. Mine cost less than $30 and it does everything I want it to do. It looks nice too.
I'm too broke to bother with el expenso bags I don't really use a purse much anyways I prefer to tote stuff in a book bag since it carries more when needed
So, i just learned something at my old age! I always believed that the Eiffel-Tower was German! I mean, It was built as gift for France from a German technician.

All that talkin' Laurie did about high class But it turns out she was just talkin' outta her ass In the end, Millie would emerge as the winner While karma quickly eats Laurie for dinner
Actually, after running through my brain NUMEROUS times, I think it is pronounced preh stee jus. I can’t count the number of times I said it out loud, lol 😆. 🇨🇦👋
I don´t understand what´s so interesting to a "BAG"? Or to have the latest Phone! What´s the use of this? I mean, I have a BAG for men too, but I first looked at the good leather quality, and that it has the proper functions I want it to have. But to use this plunder as ego-prosthetic? How pathetic could I be? NO! NONONO! Never! My bag looks good, costed under 500USD, and does its job! Anyway, I don´t use it on a daily basis, so what? It´s a nice gadget, but not more. And if I need more space, I have my second bag, made out of a combination of Canvas and vegan leather. Khaki coloured as to be different to my smaller bag made out of black leather. AND: NONE of all my two other friends (or men I know) have really a bhag for themselves. So I could not start a fight about "who has the best bag" at all. Or, that said, it would make me look really look ridiculous and pathetic lol...I don´t want to be called "the queen of bags" anyway...lol (Just to bring in Queen Elisabeth's (may she rest in peace) famous Handbag to the story).
just a weird question: I live in europe all the time. what exactly is the appeal? I like vienna and I guess there are lots of people who want to come here. but with holidays? you see buildings at sightseeing tours etc, but what else? worst thing in salzburg: the sound of music isn't a thing here. and the story makes no sense geographically wise (they fled north... and germany is north). but who cares.
living paycheck to paycheck regardless of status is still living paycheck to paycheck. The truly rich people who have residual income and can continue to live without a paycheck. I have notice that some people who "show they are rich" like buying expensive stuff and display are still poor because of one event (losing job) or something can totally break a person.
I'm convinced that a Mom Group is as bad as an HOA
I agree. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to join a Mom Group. It looks like an exercise in misery.
It’s a nasty pecking order thing and it’s absolutely dreadful 😤😤👋🇨🇦
Pretty much.

Now Milly knows what areas to avoid visiting to miss Laurie🤣
Laurie: Did he really call me shallow?

Wow, good one, I'll write this one down 😮😅😊

I’ve met two and they said something similar! Good to know there are more out there.
In my experience, people who go out of their way to flaunt wealth have no class, and people who try to act like they have class, generally don't. Laurie is a good example of both types.
"Fashion fades away, but Style remains forever"! Coco Chanel. Flaunting of wealth and possessions will always be considered vulgar.
I keep picturing Laurie banging on the door of her ex's house like how Fred Flinstone does at the end of every cartoon lol.
😂😂
WILLLLLMAAAAAA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice mental picture lol
(bangs on door) WILMA!!!!!! (continues to bang on door)
Laurie should have her own brand name item inspired by her called The Douche Bag.

So her husband "doesn't understand women" since he doesn't want her wasting money because she can't tell the difference between needs and wants.....hmmmm
simple rule u make ur own money we payed the bills split, u can use leftovers however you want
I have a handbag costs around 500 INR I think. It holds 1L water bottle, one set of dress, umbrella sometimes and other important emergency stuffs. I’m using it for morethan 4 years . Still no damage. Worth the price. Sometimes cheap one is the best than the luxurious one. 😊
Never got the appeal of extreme luxury or designer objects. Like, now you've got yourself a headache. All food, drink, and motions must be fussed over. Then some of them should be insured. Then there are safety considerations. What about kidnapping? You've made yourself a target for scumbags.
It's all just a damn headache. I would love to be rich, but I would drive a Toyota and live in a modest house that I would gut and make it luxurious inside.

But I don't like the flashy, blingey things. They seem like 1) narcissist's calling card or 2)deep insecurity + maintaining appearances (moat of the time both).
Same for me
I would use the money for traveling. Maybe get a modest house near a beach or a house with a lot of land
It’s sad that some people will take their spouse’s life and make it their own life achievements.
She has a gift from her husband. Bought because he loves her. That makes it special enough.
Divorce is a a bit overkill, especially when Laurie’s husband isn’t an angel (Laurie is too shallow and her husband isn’t honest with her) They should at least try marriage counseling before considering divorce.

Having lots of money isn't everything. You can buy friends, but you can't buy friendship. You can buy houses, but you can't buy home.. etc..

This is not a believable reason for parent to lose custody nor is it a good reason for divorce. Maybe open communication. Therefore would not recommend.

I really really don’t like Laurie not one bit , of course their is nothing like able about her and she is embarrassing 😳 herself.
Laurie is the sort who you just avoid. Boastful and supercilious adds nothing to your life.
The spaces after the apostrophes not only are grammatically incorrect but also make the text harder to read.
These are getting way too long, I just fast-forward through them now
It builds to about the halfway point on those that clock in at 35 minutes or under. For those that clock in at 40-45 minutes, you need to about three-quarters of the way to get to the karma.
Same here😂 I skip to the part where antagonist gets their karma 😅
Laurie is full of herself!
Excellent story, so very interesting, I loved the humble protagonist, made better by the voice actor.

Thank goodness my wife isn't at all interested in fashion -- I'd be completely at a loss. (Of course that's a chicken-and-egg thing I suppose.)
