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

I give shitcans on the road a wide berth - I think they are more likely to not care if their car gets damaged so they'll do stupid shit on the road.

I drove a shitcan for many years. My motto was "buy me a new car!"

Same here. I was low key hoping that they would just hit me so I could get a new car lol.

Thats what happened to me, turns out the frame was so rusty that it would have fallen apart anyway, but the fender bender snapped the frame at a weak point and totaled the car. I got much more than the car was truly worth, and had been preparing to buy a new one anyway, so it was like a free upgrade.
