18. I used to know the price of a gallon of milk but now I don’t. I am not rich, but I used to be poor. I needed to know that price. Now we are blessed to have enough that if I need it, I just grab it without looking at the price tag I imagine that being rich would be similar but on a grander scale. -u/ilyatwttmab

20. Rocking socks and flops but sporting a 200k watch -u/pah23
21. Perfect teeth. It’s always the perfect teeth. -u/GreatXs
22. Maybe not quietly, but being able to afford college without loans, financial aid, or having a job screams money. Bonus points if the parents are bankrolling the whole experience. -u/mcmcsample
23. Using the word Summer as a verb -u/ikindalold
24. Having a live-in housekeeper/nanny. -u/Obstetrix
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.
