Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[dethtoll]

Not understanding being poor and what that does to you psychologically.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Plenty of middle/upper middle don't either without being rich, though.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[dethtoll]

As far as I'm concerned, that qualifies as rich.

Wait, so middle class people who don't have much but aren't to the point where they have ever lived in poverty, and so don't really have a frame of reference for it... are actually rich? Oh my.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Well I lol'd

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[dethtoll]

You sound rich.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[dethtoll]

What does it mean then, if you're so fucking smart?

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

well, I mean, the dictionary is pretty straight forward:

"having wealth or great possessions; abundantly supplied with resources, means, or funds; wealthy" -dictionary.com

key words: abundance, great possessions, etc. the economic classes do not go "poverty or rich". I mean, you can't actually think that. Middle class is called middle class for a reason.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[dethtoll]

Yeah, and? If you've never struggled for money -- and I don't mean "oops, I'm short on cash this month, guess I'll stop going out to eat every other day", I mean chronic "which do I pick, food or medicine?" money issues, you're not going to understand.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Okay? People who haven't lived in poverty aren't going to understand how it feels to live in poverty. I agree.

That doesn't make everyone else rich. That's where your claim gets crazy.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[dethtoll]

As far as I'm concerned <--- see that? Do you need me to link you to it again so you can re-read it and make sure?

From my perspective, if you don't get it, if you've never had to get it, if you can afford things without sacrificing something else, if you don't feel guilty spending money on yourself, you're fucking rich. That is my opinion. What do you want, a fucking chart? Annotated empirical evidence to back up my opinion? It's my opinion.

Besides, the middle class is disappearing in this country so what's this argument fucking matter anymore anyway?

Now I'm depressed. Thanks a lot.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

And "as far as I'm concerned", you're dictionary wrong? Sounds an awful lot like "everyone who isn't me is rich". I mean you can have an opinion, that doesn't make it a correct usage of a word that actually does have a meaning. And I'm not being pedantic here, I think it's fucking stupid that you're claiming everyone who hasn't experienced poverty is rich. And your comments really have zero concession of being a matter of relativity, instead you're getting ridiculously defensive.

And okay, I'm not sure what you want me to say? Middle class is disappearing, nothing matters anymore, etc? things kind of escalated quickly here lol

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

I think what dethtoll is trying to say that to someone living below or around the poverty line, someone being middle or upper middle class sure as hell seems rich. Which I agree with tbh.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh boohoo. You aren't the only one who ever had to leave the fucking medicine behind in order to get the milk. But just because the person in line behind you CAN afford their cart of food and prescription medicine doesn't make them objectively rich, it just makes them better off than you. If you look around, I'm sure you'll find people even worse off than yourself.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[dethtoll]

What was the point of this post, other than trying to feel superior to me?

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, that definition seems to dovetail quite nicely with what dethtoll described. "Abundantly supplied with resources, means, or funds" = has never experienced privation or needed to choose between necessities. "Having great wealth or possessions" = can spend money on spontaneous frivolities without having those luxury purchases affect their survival budget. "Wealthy" = maintains a very comfortable standard of living with reasonable stability.

Maybe you're the one with a skewed understanding of wealth. "Rich" doesn't have to mean, "owns a fleet of yachts and had an artificial lake built to sail them in."

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I actually have to agree with other posters that this is accurate. They may not be obscenely wealthy, but if they've never ever had to struggle to make ends meet a day in their lives? That's...moderately rich. Maybe just borderline rich, depending on exactly how you define "don't have much." It's a very subjective thing.

Especially if you look not just at a single industrialized country in the present day, but the world population throughout history. A middle-classed modern family in an industrialized nation that's always been able to pay the bills is wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

If you are stupid enough to think middle/upper middle aren't rich, then you are probably rich.

Re: What is the sign of someone being rich to you?

[(Anonymous)]

what.

I love how you brought the butthurt rich kids to the yard.
