We were talking about this yesterday at the Easter get-together. My husband is 73, and he’d rather die than still work or get into politics, lol. He just wants to chill.

    Their refrain is always “if I could do it, anyone could”, as if to suggest that they just chose to be rich and it happened. Therefore, people who haven’t are “just lazy”.

    I make pretty good money (not like THAT though) and I will say, you grow into your salary. Meaning, If I can buy the more expensive/quality version of something, I sometimes will. “Fuck it, I can afford it.” Then I’m shocked when people get by making much less. I understand that I’m relatively lucky. I wasn’t born into money but I know people who were and most of them are insufferable.
