Women posting their Ls

Wealthy people keep track of their money much better than others. If this story is true, his family knew for sure that guy had some serious issues.

This ruffled some feathers. Posters rush to correct this poster while ignoring the OP saying that the son's family is probably upper middle class.

OPs response about the parents for reference:

It’s odd, from the outside, his family appeared to be comfortably upper-middle class. Modest house, cars, possessions, etc. His father is a retired professor and his mother is a retired social worker. Both his mother and father’s families were very poor. I realize investments are a thing but it’s just so strange to me that they wouldn’t notice their son spending thousands a month when they “thought” he was working.

Now for the posts

This is a broad generalization. There are plenty of wealthy people that spend freely and don’t keep track because they don’t need to

It's well known that one of the ways to maintain wealth is to just spend all your money and not track it.

Please stop spreading the idolization of wealthy people. They are just people. Some of them are really good with money, some are not. Many (most) of them did not become wealthy on their own. Some appear better at money management because they can afford to hire people to do it for them. Some piss it all away. They're not better than others because of their money.

Another "wealthy people just blow all their money"

Nope. Poor people keep track, rich people couldn't tell you the price of an apple.

Followed by a response to someone who's family is rich and tracks money

Kay. I grew up poor, we could NOT afford to not know what we had and didn't have. Not doing so would mean not eating--which we frequently couldn't, regardless. That is my point.

They're fricking apples lol

The price of an apple doesn't matter when you have money. My husband came from a wealthy background and I did not. I am better at paying bills on time, at spending less at the grocery store, at sewing my clothing when it gets a rip, at fixing things around the house when it breaks. That doesn't matter. He can write a check, and it literally doesn't phase him. He was making money from his money in a paid-off house with a paid-off car. Meanwhile, before we married, I was living check to check hoping I could pay rent (California, ugh), and sometimes I'd have to starve a little so the lights would stay on. Sure, my credit score is better and I know the price of an apple, but that doesn't matter. And as far as the big picture goes-- he does keep track of money better. He has professionals do it for him, and they manage and grow his wealth in ways that budgeting when you're "poor" can not.

Just a weird post overall and sounds like one of those reddit relationships where finances are kept entirely separate. Also chuckled at the weird part how he was making money from his paid off car.
