    When I was poor (my trust fund didn’t pay out until my 21st birthday), I had my butler make small changes to my meals. Instead of eating all of my tendies, I saved one to eat later! I literally saved 33% on my food costs! That, plus I stayed in my friend’s pool house, which is much cheaper than having to buy my own place. Plus, I was already there when Chaz throws another party!

    Frankly, I would’ve starved to death if I didn’t plan better. Poverty is a choice, and I even had money leftover to easily afford to go to Cancun for spring break! I’m so sick of people complaining how they can’t afford things when I survived all on my own.

      You survived on the grace of others and developed some skills around being thrifty. Hardly a reason to start looking down on people, not to mention the optics of being a trust fund baby even if you were a temporarily embarrassed millionaire for a few years.

        Psh, it’s not my fault people choose to be born to poor parents. Seriously, with enough grit and determination, anyone - literally anyone - can be born to rich parents. It’s not even that hard. Honestly, being born to poor parents is a blessing because you are born with work ethic and grit, instead of earning it like I did and inheriting my father’s company.

        Frankly, being poor is so easy. Try being rich for a day to understand my struggle. I’ve had four maids quit because I called ICE on their husbands, like it’s my fucking fault their children were ziptied and thrown into a van, boo-fucking-hoo. Maybe don’t be a shitty parent and hire a babysitter and a bodyguard.

        I swear, being poor makes you so stupid, this is common sense stuff!
