What People Assume About You When You Grew Up Privileged
Your parents still pay for you
When I tell people that I have wealthy parents they assume that I am wealthy. I am not. My parents do not pay one cent of my bills. I pay them all on my own. That is why I must live in a run-down, rent-controlled apartment and stay in motels when I travel. And, for the record, even if my parents offered to pay for me, I wouldn’t want them to. I value my independence, and not being a financial burden on anyone.
