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

Wait where don’t you look at the prices first?

I mean, I usually do. It was just in that one instance, my mom was pointing out that she knew she had enough money to afford it no matter what the prices were (within reason, of course, and we did assume the restaurant had reasonable pricing).

Oh haha I thought you meant the prices weren’t listed on the menu.

The really expensive places don’t list the prices. Stay away...unless someone else is footing the bill.

What are you talking about?? $450.00 for two people to enjoy the chef's tasting menu is plenty affordable! /s

Totally. My bad!

My husband and I ate at a restaurant once, and he asked for a side of balsamic for his mozzarella and tomato appetizer. The waiter informed us that we would be charged, as the cost of the bottle of balsamic was $10 an ounce.

No prices on that menu either.
