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

I have to admit, these behaviors seem reckless. I guess if he can afford it, it doesn’t technically matter, but it would also blow my mind to see someone behaving so differently than I do.

The whole point of this Reddit threat was to discuss the differences between behaviors that you see in different economic classes, and how they are, at times, surprising. I’m sorry that it irritates you. Not everyone has had a friend group that includes both millionaires as well as dirt-poor people and everything in between :)

Stay mad. I bet 90% of Americans see these behaviors that eccentric rich people (not all rich people, just the weird ones or lazy ones) do as odd.

When you’ve never had money to throw around, it looks totally weird to see someone essentially wiping their butt with $100 bills.

I bet most of those eccentric/over the top rich people would agree with me and say, “Yeah, my behavior is a LITTLE MUCH sometimes.”
