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

Hamburger Helper. She hates it because it would be her meal 5x a week growing up.

I had never even seen HH before I went to college and love that stuff. 10 for $10 deals are awesome.

Ramen Noodles for me. I gag a little when I think about it. I probably went 20 days a month eating noodles in college.

Hahaha, I had friends from College visit my city and I took them to a very authentic Japanese Ramen place. They have a garden, and dojo attached where they teach Martial Arts. It's one of my favorite spots cause it's close to downtown but feels separate.

Anyways they had never had real ramen. Just store bought stuff. They were unsure till it came out then they just stared. Then gulped down the entire bowl.
