This question has been making the rounds lately, and let me tell you, there are some pretty spot-on and eye-opening answers that should be food for thought for most of us.
If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, here are 15 things people say are classy if you have money, but trashy if you’re poor, and the truth of it all is enough to make you want to cringe.
Not having a job.
Getting high.
Spending money on non-essentials.
At least that’s how it seems
Makes me remember the joke: if fifty shades took place in a trailer park, it would be a Criminal Minds episode.
Having strangers living in your house with you.
Not seeing your kids a lot.
riding bicycles on main roads
multiple cars in front of the house
eating animals that most people don’t eat
owning a limousine
knowing lawyers and judges well.
Going to the horse races
If you’ve ever been to the track on a Tuesday afternoon you know it ain’t a pretty sight.
But that’s not the picture NBC paints at the Kentucky Derby.
Other people raising your kids. having a live-in nanny makes you rich, but being raised by your grandparents means your parents are deadbeats
Wearing weird / unusual clothing all the time.
If you are poor – you are a weirdo. If you are rich – you are just eccentric.
Holding your kid’s wedding and reception in your backyard.
Day drinking at work.
You always see in the movies the hot shot lawyer keeps a decanter filled and pours a glass with every client.
That may be the case in high level positions? I have no idea.
But in our reality, the guy would be labeled a drunk and lose his job and reputation.
Having multiple kids with multiple partners.
Florida.
Rich Florida and Florida Florida are two very different things
Having a big screen TV.
I’ve had to do home visits with people often and they ALWAYS get so mad that these poor families would have one.
‘Minimalism’.
If you’re rich and you live in a ‘tiny’ house, and don’t have a lot material possessions, you are considered enlightened and living a good life.
If you’re poor and you live in a tiny house and don’t have a lot of stuff, you are considered a loser.
Minimalism works if you can replace anything on a whim. The rest of us hoard crap in mom’s garage “for when I need it” or “just in case.”
Biggest thing is leisure spending, imo.
Somehow a billionaire wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on shit she doesn’t need and will use once is considered cool, but a poor person saving up and buying a nice purse or bottle of booze is seen as wasteful.
Drugs.
Big difference between a crack house and a cocaine apartment.
Taking money from the government.
Unemployment/Food stamps: Trashy
Business Bailout/Taxloophole: Classy
Some of these are just so awful and true, y’all.
What would you add to the list? Tell us in the comments!
