One of the most obnoxious things about well off mayos is they’re always bargaining with themselves and reality to excuse that comfort bc there’s always someone somewhere who’s even wealthier
The most egregious of this was I knew a guy in the oil and gas industry who would take a private jet to festivals, literally flew his kids to other countries across the Atlantic for concerts and would say with a straight face “we’re not even that rich, now this guy I know pff they have real money” and I’m like “lol you make more money in one year than I’ve probably ever earned in my life”
I went to a private school and this happens all the fuckin time. People's parents will have six figure incomes and they'll be like "we aren't rich, we're well off". As if there's any difference. Because saying you're rich forces you to acknowledge your privilege, which is to hard for a lot of selfish people.
I'm privileged, I recognize that. My parents are upper middle class petit bourgeois. It's not that hard to admit
