'Indifference is the greatest sign of wealth.'
For people who grew up pretty well off, it can be easy to overlook your privileges. But for others who weren't quite as fortunate, those privileges can be all too obvious.And a lot of the time, wealth shows itself in little, not so blatant ways. "Eating pizza because you want to, not because it's $2."
"That, and mom eating along with us normally instead of pretending that the crust is her favorite part and that's why she'd eat the crust we'd leave."that describes being well off as 'filling your gas tank up all the way rich.' That was the rich I wanted to be. Comfortable. Also, not having to do math in the grocery store to see what food you can buy. I hated that. I wanted to just go buy necessities like gas and food without worrying.
"I'm showing my age here, but having a shower in your house. Back in the day, only people with money had showers. We all only had baths." "Stairs. I've always lived in an apartment, so for me, I really hope that I'll one day have a house with stairs." And lastly:"Indifference. I realized what real wealth meant in high school when we cleaned up trash from a creek and the rich kids wore their Polo shirts, Guess jeans, and Jordans because if they were trashed, they would simply get new ones. The poor kids wore their grubby clothes to do labor in."
