These people are well off. Definitely hundred thousandaires but I think more probably millionaires.
These people live in a sense of monetary security that I cannot even begin to understand. It's actually a bit disgusting, the level of financial security they are used to.
Luckily it wasn't inherited. It was all made by them. Still, I don't know or understand it.
It can be very overwhelming. I'm happy just hanging at the house with family, making food, watching tv, talking/interacting with each other. These folks do the same but they're eating expensive food and pretty much everything involved is expensive.
My only problem is having things bought for me. I know my brother in law makes more in a year than I will probably see in my whole life, before taxes, but we are the same age. It feels weird him deciding activities that not only can I not afford, but then pays for it.
Also my younger sisters out here have everything done/bought for them. I enjoy this with my guy as well but on much smaller levels in much smaller doses. It's something they are used to but I just am not
Im not making a big deal about it. I'm going along with things and being polite and cordial. I'm hoping I can eventually figure out how to tell my sis her husband weirds me out by constantly picking up the bill like he's my dad. Maybe I should tell her soon while she still understands what humble pie tastes like.
I'm grateful! But not used to it and don't like feeling beholden to anyone, for anything at anytime. I'd rather just pay my own way, and if I can't afford it, do something I can afford!
