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
