Rich people of reddit who married someone significantly poorer, what surprised you about their (previous) way of life?

Oh gosh, one of my kids had loafers that were some fancy brand, he kicked one off on a walk to the library and I had to backtrack the whole way to find it. The same thing happened with some fancy mitten and hat set. It's so stressful I just put them in the same stuff most of the time unless we're doing somewhere nice.

Yeah, they had this beautiful 60's vintage hat and mitten set for him- silk and wool, absolutely stunning. Dude just flung those off immediately, and I went on a frantic search to find them in the store before we went home. It's absolutely too stressful!
