5. Friend of mine used to run a ridiculously exclusive cocktail bar. He always said "The ones in the fancy clothes who look filthy rich are normally reasonably wealthy. The ones in jeans and t-shirts who look normal are normally filthy rich"
Basically, the truly rich people didn't see the place as anything out of the ordinary, so saw no reason to dress up.

25. "I was out with a few friends of friends last year, and I was talking about how I was going to be forced out of the area I live because rent prices have increased by 15-20% in the last 12 months. One of the group piped up with the sincere, but dumb as f*ck, suggestion, "Why not just buy your own house?"
Cheers pal, never thought of that.
Spoke to him a while longer and it turns out his family are major landlords in the area and own many of the apartments within the area of the city I live in. One of the deciding reasons I can't buy my own property is, funnily enough, his parents buying it all up and charging so much for rent that being in a position to even save for a mortgage is a pipe dream, let alone actually getting one.
