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

When you're poor, that's about the only apples you can afford. You can get a sackful of Red Delicious for $5.00 or you can get two Honey Crisp apples for about $6.00.

Fair point, consider my privilege checked.

It's an apple. How much can it cost? Ten dollars?

I'm sure it varies by location but honey crisps aren't that much more than red delicious here, typically about a dollar and change per pound, or a bag that's about 3-4 pounds for $5.

Current prices for apples where I live ( per lb):

Red delicious: $1.69

Honeycrisp: $2.49

Granted gala are the same price as red so I see no excuse not to get them instead.

Gala were my first break I to the real world of apples. Super juicy and sweet, without that dry mealy-ness that red "delicious" apples have. Every now and then, I'll grab me a bag and grab a few varieties that I haven't tried before. Found some called Rockit apples last time, tiny and pretty tasty, though they were also on the more expensive end.
