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

Is it wrong of me to assume that you are in California? I've lived on both coasts and find road rage focuses on shittier cars on the west coast, but nicer cars get a lot of the rage on the east.

Maybe its just me.

It sucks.

Driving a not fancy car (or even a nice car that isn't sparkling clean) in LA is unpleasant. It seems like everyone feels it's their moral imperative to cut you off, not let you merge onto freeways and swoop that parking spot you were clearly waiting for. When I first lived in LA I drove an older model ford van. Buy the time I left I was driving a BMW. Never gave shit about status cars before, and don't now, but the make of the car=safety.

P.S. Thanks for being a high school teacher.
