Nope, it actually challenges everything you thought you knew about everything.

Want to hang out with your friends? Good luck on agreeing on a place to rent that's in budget for all of you if you have £1m+ in the bank.

Want to treat your wife? Good luck she is already accustomed to nice meals. It's unlikely you'll surprise her with something special.

Kids birthday? Good fucking luck. He's got the latest of everything.

And so it goes...

What? Is the wealthier person in this scenario too much of a snob to stay in cheaper accommodations that everyone can afford, or pay a little more than their "fair share" to help book nicer ones that everyone can enjoy?

I would not want to be friends with that person.


Poor rich man.

If i had the luck to have £1m+ in the bank and if I wanted to hang out with my friend, i would happily let them pay what they can afford and pay for the remaining.

My wife don't need nice meals to be happy, just some time together is enough.

> Kids birthday? Good fucking luck. He's got the latest of everything.

It's not because you are rich that you have to buy your kids anything they want. You can have positive experience with your kids everyday without buying anything.

Sorry if i sound harsh but it's really strange reading this when you DON'T have 1m+ in bank. And I'm not especially poor.
