Case in point - my roommate.
The kid's dad is a millionaire anesthesiologist. His mom is a former trophy wife from Guatemala.
He grew up with a cleaning lady/slave doing every bit of the housework. He also grew up surrounded by every video game console known to man.
Nowadays, I think he thinks I'm his cleaning lady. He just sits around playing WoW.
I can't relate to this kid in any way. He complains about how his 2007 Audi A4 isn't good enough, and he wants the new model... I thank god every daythat my dad gave me this broke %+# Chevy to bring to college. I never had anything before this.
He didn't even know how to grocery shop. I had to take him to the store and explain generic items, sale items, even what @#*@%@$ 3 for $5 meant
It's not just this kid. I had millionaire friends in high school buying new snowboards every month and claiming that they bought their beamers with"their own money"
I think that particular dude is ballingright now overseas in Italy, studying abroad off mommy's credit card.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, sure there are rich kids that actually know how to work hard and appreciate what they have. I 've just found that those kids arepretty rare. I'm glad I grew up the way I did: without video games, mowing the lawn, doing dishes, vacuuming, not getting everything I wanted and actuallysemi-understanding what it takes to run a household.
As a middle class dude, not poor by any means but not even close to wealthy, I can't relate at all. I'm still buying lunch meat and wonder bread whilemy douche roommate is copping pre-cooked grilled chicken and $7 organic caesar dressing.
Anyone else?
