Someone Asks “What Is Something That You Thought Was A ‘Rich People’ Thing When You Were A Kid?” And 50 People Deliver Answers

A kid living down the street from me had a little toy car which he could actually drive around in. One day I was out on my bike and bumped into said kid with his family, and in mock indignation I said "how come HE gets a car while I'M stuck with just a bicycle?!" Kid thought it was hilarious. XD EDIT: Clarification; I was a grown adult when this happened.

That kid was definitely the envy of other kids.

No one I knew had one of those little cars. The thing that makes me laugh about this picture is the poor little schmuck brother trying to push the thing in the grass. Mom probably told him. "Go out and help your little sister play in her car."

Omg don't get me started on these.

I had one of those, it was the best. I had one that actually drove though I think

Uncle Scrooge?

Lol, that in the picture is Bitcoin. Considering the block chain crashed, you could probably easily afford a whole tub of those to bathe in now.

🤣🤣🤣

Painful, at least.

Haha!

Real Barbie, I got Sindy

I had this Barbie house. I think it fit the barbie pool on the roof. 18b40206d2...de75e4.jpg

Or having a real barbie and not just one of the cheap knock off, poor quality ones, where the head was hollow so if you accidentally stood on it she’d be permanently deformed

This was my biggest flex as a child

I wanted a dream house so bad as a kid...having all the American girl doll accessories too

In my Country is really something that only wealthy people can afford

Welcome to my ool. Notice there is no P in it.

I still think that.

Where I grew up, pools were not a big deal, everyone had one. I refurbished a few and built a few of varying sizes. Simplest of all was a hole lined with galvanised steel and then a l8ght blue vinyl liner for waterproofing and aesthetics.

I had a swimming pool at my house, but the heater was always broken

They're so good tho

Hah! Taken in by the 'Ambassador's reception' advertising.

Interesting... I live in a small somewhat poor Central American town. Everywhere I go I see expensive Ferrero Rocher in the shops (the size above would cost the average worker at least 2 weeks wages). I'm certain most really cannot truly afford the candy so I'm sure it's not sold simply for its goodness. Rather it's available for those that want to demonstrate they aren't poor

You can go broke feeding this addiction.

In my house these were such a status above what we usually could afford that my mom often got them as Christmas gifts. It was usually the only time of year she could enjoy them

I hadn't even left Canada until a few years ago. My mom took me across the country once and the rest of our vacations were just sticking close to home. Those who went to Disneyland I thought were rich.

We camped a lot. One particular summer we traveled half way across the USA with parents, (Mother 4 months pregnant) and 4 children all 13yo and under. We stopped at many national parks. It was the 70's so no electronics. My sister and I would pretend we were strangling each other as our parents contentedly sang up front oblivious.😂 They were saints!
