    That is a strange question. If you are going to be miserable either way who would not take the money?

    Speaking ffluent latin was "normal" last in the 17 century for the upper classes. Even in Europe. From the 18 century other languages took it's place, mostly german and french.

    That's somehow sad. A big high five to that nanny, I'm guessing it's her merit.

    Unless that computer was made out of solid gold or platinum or something, that doesn't seem to be the actual answer.

    This answer contradicts the previous answers where she says she thinks phrases like "eat the rich" are understandable an no one gets her family's amount of money just by hard working and willpower, but now she's talking like a linkedin bs guru saying she's "tired of the rich bashing" and to get rich you just have to work hard, even if you come from poverty you can achieve wealth? Yeah, i am not someone who thinks everything on the internet/reddit is fake, but i am starting to smell the bs on this one.
