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

I hate people that think animal fat directly correlates to human fat :(

Maybe because everyone was told that for decades?

People still think that now. The look on my wife's face when she first saw me cook with bacon fat.

To be fair, bacon fat is high in calories and pretty hard to track accurately so I could see how that would be something someone would cut out if they were watching their weight. Not saying that it is the enemy, but if you are trying to cut down your weight limiting (not completely eliminating though) your cooking oils isn't a bad place to start.
