I went to a private school growing up, which sounds bougie but really wasn’t. My parents weren’t rich. They were just broke from trying to give me a better shot. That meant I was surrounded by kids who had no idea how out of touch they sounded.
Some of the things they said were truly unbelievable. One kid told me, “I went to New Zealand this summer, where did you go?” I said, “I worked.”
Looking back, I’m actually grateful. Sure, it’d be nice to be rich, but not so rich I end up being the subject of a Reddit thread like this one.
“Something your rich friends has said that made your jaw drop?”
