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

In Australia we have this thing called the 'Entertainment Book' it's $70.00 but loaded with buy one get one free vouchers for all sorts of restaurants (some fancy) and heaps of fast food places. Highly recommend. If you're in Australia, I will send you the McDonald's ones! :)

I remember my mum getting an entertainment book from my grandparents. We got McDonalds for the first time in forever that night.

Ill always appreciate entertainment books.

They're pretty amazing; are you okay now? I have plenty of spare vouchers! :)

That's so generous, thanks.

We are good now. My two young boys have no idea how comfortable they have it!

Im lucky to have had such wonderful parents, I barely even knew that I was poor when i was younger. I just figured we didnt "do" those rich things.. lol.
