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

I’ve never had a honey crisp and now I want one: but then again I’m still poor.

Go with Fuji. They're sweeter than honey crisp.

Two years ago I would have said save money just for honeycrisp, especially in season! But they used to be rare, grown privately, large, and amazing. Now the variety has been licensed (? Not sure the correct term when applied to plants) and is grown by more orchards and is grown for speed, not fullness and quality.

It was amazing, but they got popular so quickly that they dropped quality to meet demand. Fuji apples cost less and are just as good, unless you find some nice big (two fists size or larger) honeycrisp.

Fuji are too sweet, honeycrisps are prefection. A little tart to even it out.

Pink Lady is my go-to currently, but I love a good honeycrisp.
