'A friend's birthday dinner [cost] me $1100': Entitled rich friends throw lavish party without informing guests they will be charged $540 per person

There are plenty of conflicts that can cause a rift in adult friendships, but perhaps the most common one is money. Obviously, there are other worthy candidates such as difficulty with communication, differences in ideologies, and disagreements about significant others. However, how people deal with money can bring about cringeworthy interactions, upsetting revelations, and disturbing differences in opinion. For instance, here we have an adult male and his wife who were invited to their friend'…

Foolish 20-something guy drops $90,000 on a muscle car; finds a happy ending and gleans invaluable wisdom years later: 'Lesson painfully learned'

Daredevils have a strange fascination with metal, speed, and being the coolest guy in the room. Like the Wright Brothers a hundred years ago, we've been continuously pushing the boundaries on the velocity and speed of our vehicles, toeing the line between an adrenaline rush, certain demise, and irresistible style. Now, in 2024, it's come to a head– muscle cars are a definitive symbol of frivolity, danger, and downright, dastardly coolness. Our hero in this next story became a victim of the clas…

'I offer $55k over asking price [on a different house]': Snobby realtor loses $10,000+ on a sale after underestimating a female executive's net worth

It's 2024 and there's still a wage gap between men and women. Although bigotry in the workplace is no surprise anymore, you'd think that out in the purchasing world, money would speak louder than gender. However, in our next tale, a chauvinistic realtor shoves his foot in his mouth after assuming a woman's financial capability... And no amount of fresh-baked cookies, commission incentives, or low-interest rates could change her mind after that blunder.

'I made sure she didn't get any commission': Casually dressed customer returns to high-end store and humbles employee after being refused service

We're always told, 'Don't judge a book by its cover', but that doesn't deter people from judging people based on how they look anyway. This sales rep made the mistake of her life when she refused a casually dressed customer service. OP was walking by a designer store when she noticed a cool backpack that caught her eye. She went inside and asked one of the employees if she could bring it out so that she could take a closer look before purchasing it. The sales rep basically scoffed at her and to…

High School Tutor Gets Overwhelming Praises When She Helps an Underprivileged Kid Get a Full Ride Scholarship by Overstepping Ethical Boundaries

Rich kids have it so easy. Anyone who's ever clawed their way through the class system knows that if you ever reached the top, you'd really have to screw things up to fall from graces. With endless opportunities, golden parachutes, and full-time staff members devoted to helping you succeed, rich kids have the world at their fingertips.

Raising a well-rounded child is always a conundrum. I can't speak from experience, but I imagine it would be particularly difficult to keep your teenager grounded if your family is affluent. Teenagers are inherently entitled, but imagine throwing a couple million dollars in their bank account along with the latest iPhone.

'My ultimate dream car': 20+ folks share the first thing they would buy if they were the richest people alive

There is nothing like a hypothetical question to figure out who amongst us is selfish and who is caring. Some of you are far greater individuals than I would be in this situation. But then again, this is all incredibly theoretical. For instance, let's give a warm shoutout to the Redditor who said they would buy up vacant hotels and convert them into affordable housing. Perhaps if I became the richest person in the world, that would be the second or third thought that would cross my mind. Unfort…

'I calmly explained that that was not possible or legal': Entitled rich guy forced to slum it with the 'peasants' after being caught completely unprepared in the tropics

Rich people think they can buy the whole world– and sometimes they can afford it –but society doesn't always work like that. Although many 1%ers have gotten used to flexing their wealth in order to take leaps and bounds, while getting exactly what they want at warp speed, occasionally they get burned by the harsh reality of the word ‘no’. To the delight of us regular folks out there, a rich person's fall from graces can be extremely entertaining.

'Find a rich boyfriend then': Top 20+ out-of-touch comments made by Karens, bosses, and rich people

People certainly live in their own little bubbles, don't they? Maybe it's not just Jon Hamm's character in 30 Rock who has his own false sense of reality and his own inflated sense of self. We all are shaped by the communities we were raised in and the environments we choose to expose ourselves to, which unfortunately means that a lot of us have no sense of how others live. This might explain larger issues in the world, but it also trickles down the most fundamental social situations as well. F…

'[They] asked about who her shoe cobbler was': 20+ Subtle signs that you're talking to someone wealthy

Money isn't everything… no, I take that back, it is everything. Money is perhaps 80% of life. People who already have money absolutely love to tell you that “Money isn't everything.” If you're a lonesome lawyer working 90 hours per week who never sees their family, like in a Hallmark movie, than I guess that makes sense. But for most of us, who do have loving family and friends and a moral compass, having an injection of cash would make life a whole lot easier! When you have money, you can get…

Everyone has had that moment in a group setting when one wealthy person says something that's totally out of touch. Perhaps this is the first time you've realized they had a slightly different upbringing than you. Or perhaps this is the fifteenth time they've made a comment like this, and it's about time someone confronts them about it because it's getting increasingly uncomfortable for everyone involved. Look, everyone's come into contact with someone like this. It could be a boss, it could be…

'The whole atmosphere in the room changed': Assistant stuns their oblivious, wealthy coworkers with reality check

This assistant isn't afraid to rock the boat. Every office place is different, and when you first begin working there, you start to learn the etiquette of the place. Some offices are very open and chatty, while others have unspoken rules that no one talks to higher ups. In some office spaces, people are expected to answer emails or phone calls immediately, whereas other places it's okay to take some time to respond. This might cause a few awkward moments for newcomers! This assistant writes tha…

Entitled people just live in their own world. If you have enough money, you can live life exactly as you wish, from the moment you wake up in the morning to the minute you go to bed each night. Many wealthy people become sheltered from the realities of everyday life. After all, while it's convenient for them to have an entire team of people at your beck and call, like personal assistants, nannies, chefs, or chauffeurs, the rest of us trying our best to get by without the extra help.

When your rich boss ghosts you on payday, there are a lot of bigger issues going on. Either your boss is negligent and simply doesn't care about their business (you know, the hobbyist type), or money simply isn't a factor to them– they don't imagine that being paid is the primary reason folks stay employed.

'How Dare You Spend That Much Without My Permission?’ : Mega Rich Woman Buys Niece Ridiculous Christmas Gifts Amounting to 4K, Sparks Drama With Family

Family and holidays often mix together in a variety of ways. It isn't all fun and roses… You need to walk on eggshells, for the most part, as everyone has their own special set of triggers. For example, maybe you don't want to mention that you're majoring in art to Grandpa, who thinks anything besides finance is a waste of time (This generation knows nothing!). And maybe don't mention that you've been taking yoga classes (our back, guys) to your mother, who doesn't shy away from her brutal opin…
