Some Rich People Are Quite Clueless About How Regular People Live And Here Are 40 Stories Twitter Users Shared That Prove It
We all live on the same planet, but it is so diverse that it might seem that we are living in a different dimension. It can depend on the nature that surrounds us, what natural disasters occur, our country’s economic state, the government, the education system and other aspects.
But even people living in the same geographical and political space might not share the same reality. Like how rich people and poor people experience a totally different life. What is the most interesting is that one is not aware of how good or how bad the other’s life is.

One Twitter user might have had her eyes opened to this phenomenon because she asked “You ever watch a rich person's expression change when you ask a question that's too poor?” People had some very amusing and quite concerning stories about the wealthier part of society that are clueless how the majority of the world lives.

For real. Work at a grocery store. 8 or the 10 managers have unused degrees that are still being paid for. College does not equal great paying job.
Am reminded of one George H.W. Bush, who had no clue how much a quart of milk cost.
Reminds me about a guy at university who told me he tried out working and found it to be very pointless and draining and its not for him. Lol.
Oh you sweet, innocent, entitled little loaf of a child. You are in school but have so much to learn that schools can't teach you.
And now EVERYONE is too poor to go to Disneyland. Thanks heaps, Bob Chapek!
Wow, hope they got wiser. I was lucky my only friend in primary school was loaded but understood my family was the complete opposite, she was never mean about it, but always tried to help, like I couldn’t afford things at sleepovers the rich kids could, so she would spot me etc.
Goodness. This reminds me of the time my college friend's parents visited my home and the first question out of their mouths is 'how many square feet is it in here' as though that mattered more than us as humans. The mom proceeded to ask my mother if she had a 10 year plan for me. During my mother's stunned silence, the mom cluelessly proceeded to offer to make one for me if I didn't have one?????
If I wrote a book of the DANIELLEISMS...anyone who knows me, knows they are true..hilarious, sad, ironic...but true..lol id be a gazillionaire
That's when u say u don't pay me enough for my own living let alone someone's else! Or two someone else's. Edit yes wrote that like that on purpose
You should have said" I have a very similar one from Target..." lol
This honestly explains a lot about how big news papers/magazines end up writing completely out of touch editorials.
You know, at least they made an effort. So many people get immediately offended by stuff like this, but sometimes rich people are people too and they can be awkward in some situations same as poor people. If they're not being condescending or malicious, then why should it put a fn chip on somebody's shoulder? Maybe, in turn, relate to the awkwardness and both people could wind up with an enriching and rewarding friendship or, at least, experience.
What job do you have that only provides $90/week? I assume this is part time or something since it's a student?
This one isn't entirely accurate. I grew up poor in another country and often had mint jelly...with any meal, really. Yes, that includes free lunches and such. In the country I live now, mint jelly is only found in the foreign food aisle, and mostly purchased by people who think they are high class and 'sophisticated'. It's not about being rich or poor...it's simply where/how the food is marketed.
Oh! The humanity. Dear God how does she find the courage to get dressed each day.
Reminds me of that annoying interview question: dO yOu HaVe ReLiAbLe TrAnSpOrTaTiOn??
If she's a goth I could imagine why she would find a beautiful sunny tropic resort lame. In other news rain is wet.
My bil just got engaged to a rich girl l. She loves all our new furniture and is getting allot of the same stuff for them (not even sure why as she had nice furniture B4 he moved in) thing is she is making him take out a loan to buy all this while mine is all second hand. I find this even more hilarious as her favorite piece is my grey loveseat I got at goodwill for $20
While living in New York City after the Wall Street Crash, I was financially struggling and my friend got me a gig for a repeat client of his on Long Island.The job was to build a PowerPoint for the clients son for a school experiment. The experiment was this: in his father's office building he set up cameras that video taped the kid dropping $5 bill. His hypothesis was that rich people would give the money back to him and poor people would keep it because they are struggling and therefore less honest. I was supposed to build a PowerPoint that stated his experiment worked and clearly poor people did not return the money. The footage showed nothing of the sort, and was just crap all together. I politely tried to explain. Economic status doesn't translate into honesty, and that his assertions were offensive but he did not care. He was a rich brat and believe poor people were scum. There were so many things wrong with the whole situation.
Ha! How many people didn't recognize that scene from Karate Kid (original)???
I've had rich people surprised that I couldn't afford things, such as buying my wife a $600 dress or jetting to Las Vegas for a quick night of gambling. On the other side of the coin, I have little idea of what it's like not having access to potable water or sanitation. So, I guess, everybody has blinders on when it comes to the struggles of poorer people.
Definitely the most sensible comment I've seen so far. Although many are quite funny!
Load More Replies...One time a few people in my class were talking about where they were going on vacation and they said they were going to places like Spain, Greece, Norway etc. They asked me what country I was going to for vacation this year and I said "Um, well we're planning on going to the museum in [very nearby city]..." Then they made a face and started ignoring me.
well at least you know who isn't worth socialising with.

But I have to work for it and it will take me some months to get the money together.
Wow, that's a lot. That seems like a great way to prevent poor people from having reliable transportation to work. I know you guys have better public transportation than we do here, but I'm pretty sure our society would just fall apart if we did that in the US.
