TikToker Asks “What’s Classy If You’re Rich But Trashy If You’re Poor” And Here Are 19 Illuminating Replies

Yeah right? How absurd.

I think it has more to do with being a functional alcoholic. Someone that's doing well for themselves and drinking in their big giant office. Vs someone coming home getting wasted and can barely afford to pay their bills. One is still ”maintaining” their life sort of. But I think both are pretty horrible.

Being a daily drinker is problematic regardless the money

I've never heard anyone say this, either. Someone who just has a drink every day isn't an alcoholic at any income. Someone who drinks excessively on a regular basis is an alcoholic at any income.

Well said!

That's true

Err... "fair"? If you're poor, not paying is fair. Without "fair share" this works tho.

Rich "I'm just one person so what's the big deal. I employee hundreds of people that pay taxes" What they're saying "I pay stagnant wages then make it worse by ensuring the taxes keep going up on those making a lot less than me"

Depends on how you define fair share. The top 1% earns 25% of all income years but pay 42% of all income taxes. Now if you want to tax their non cash assets like their stock holdings, that is a different chat. But when you look at the actual numbers, and not politics, they do pay their fair share.

What would you consider "fair share"?

I personally find old cars really cool but this one is true.

Sad, but true, and it has the check engine light on too

Rich person: an antique/collectable Poor person: a pile of junk but it gets me from a to b

I think this is true of most americans -- few own their houses, the bank does, and since many people get 5 or even 7 year loans on cars, they never really own the car, they just keep making payments on it until they trade it in on the next one. Those rare people that do keep their car long enough to pay it off tend to keep it as long as they can.

Oh man this is sopt on.

Depends where you live, though. In Croatia, back when I was growing up, speaking 3 languages was very common, almost normal. Speaking 4+ usually means you're working in tourism, which, given it's a large sector there, again - it's considered normal, but people will think you're skilled and will find it a virtue. In Korea, speaking English is still considered great skill, although it's socially recognised as a necessity, and if you speak a language they haven't heard of, they'll have no particular feeling about that. Speaking Korean with a non-korean face will be very much appreciated, but there will be some people who will try and patronise you, forgetting you can speak 4 languages while they barely struggle with their 2nd and only foreign language. As for my European circles, we all go "wow" at merely the number and we have a common saying "the more languages you speak, the more people you're worth".

in Europe it's common to speak more than one languages. because they are many country close to each other. Many american don't feel the need to learn other than english.

Bilingual does not mean not knowing English....That's what gets most people mad. (Sadly, there are some who get so frustrated at Spanish-only speakers in America that they presume that when people are speaking in Spanish in groups, they don't know English or a worse presumption yet, therefore they must be illegal aliens.

I have never heard of that before. Thats silly

Wish I could get to grips with Spanish and French ....... 62 yo ex Chef with years of international experience, speak German, Dutch and reasonable Danish - can get by, just in the Romanesque languages but they don't seem to stick !!

Tiny houses aren't always build on trailers, at least not in my country.

Starwars tattoo. That's all. Bye now.

This one is true. That's an excellent point.

Tiny houses are typically a conscious choice, trailers are a last resort.

Tiny houses aren’t for rich people tho

This one doesn't make sense... if you're rich and not have a job sounds like a dream to me.

Hmm... those are pretty different situations.

Well yeah. Because one person has resources and the other doesn’t. Not having a job is the dream for everyone.

If you’re spouse makes a lot of money and you don’t have to work, that’s not the same as just not working and being poor??

this reminds me of tahani in the good place "jason didnt even have a job, but in the sad way not the good rich way"

When I was a single parent raising two sons, I always bought them brand new clothes. After doing that, I couldn’t afford to buy myself new clothes, so I always bought everything from consignment, or thrift stores. No big deal. Now that I can afford nice new, expensive clothes, I have never forgotten those times, so I still do shop in consignment and thrift stores some times. I will never feel that I’m above that.

Enough with the photoshopped face/lips.

Meh. Thrifting is fun, economical & sensible at any income.

When I was a kid, I got made fun of for wearing thrift store clothes, but now it's "trendy."

Some influencers even go around these thrift stores, put some outfits together, and they are genesis for doing so
