People from different economic backgrounds often come from completely separate worlds. So when those worlds come together, things can get pretty interesting.
On Reddit, a woman who drives for Uber revealed she’s dating a man whose family is worth millions. She invited users to ask her anything—and they certainly delivered.

Most of the people I know with money (not crazy rich money, just very comfortable) don't care what people wear as long as it's decent. We shop at Walmart and love bargains. I'm so glad I don't live in a place like SoCal or NYC. Those places do put pressure on even middle class people to fit in with designer cr ap and the latest treatments. Bleh.
Because women only get with men for their money, didn't you hear the news ? /s
It's interesting that "does he treat you well" leads to an answer about spending money.
Is "dream" dreaming so big that they don't know that a 35k per week vacation house is "real millionaire" stuff? I get that it could be done as a major splurge by people who aren't worth $1 million plus (not counting a primary residence), but it's still pretty rare territory.
It's amazing how many idiots think that anyone with enough for startup costs has everything they need to start a business that won't be bankrupt in a year or two. Even people who know how to use punctuation can be that stupid.
I think I should be paying more. Not sure I'm in the majority of my cohorts, though. "WE EARNED EVERY DOLLAR!" Yeah, worked so much harder than everyone else ... right.
Buying someone a gift *you* want them to like makes you a terrible gift giver. A boyfriend of a friend asked me if she would like a kayak for Christmas so they could kayaking together. Knowing her I said no. Not her thing. Take her to a show - she would love that! He's like, really? A kayak though!! They did not last.
One of the best things about having money is the connections. It's so casual. "Oh, you want work for (whatever)? I know a guy. Let me put in a call." "You need an expert in something? Know someone - they'll give you good advice." Doors open like magic.
Our daughter has had some cool but not very well-off friends. We have included them on some awesome vacations. I think it has expanded their views of what's possible. At least it gave them some great memories!
They sound like a great couple. What more could you want from someone?
This is one of the great things about coming from a family with money. You know they always have your back. We were helped by our families when we started out - like no-interest loans we paid back - and we do the same for our kids. Financial security just makes life less stressful. I think they know how lucky they are.
If you want a future with someone, you have to know they have responsibility and some kind of work ethic. You're asking for trouble otherwise.
I like this person. It sounds like they consider each other equals and are very sensible.
Crazy how most of the people assume that someone dating a richer person would automatically be a leech.
Agree. Or that she must be super good looking. They sound very compatible! Hope it works out for them!
