Had a get together with some friends and family over the weekend and one of my friends who, let's say, has more money than the rest of us, said this when I asked him about something he bought at the grocery store.
And I get that he comes from a "different world" that he was born into, then us plebeians but saying that really upset me.
And I know it's on my end and it comes from a place of jealousy. I had just they after noon been grocery shopping and had to be mindful of what was a good value and what I could and couldn't afford that week.
And it just really bugs me. And makes me hate that I work 40 hours a week and sometimes can't afford to buy "the good cheese" or the "good bread".
Not to say he doesn't work as well and isn't an educated fellow. And he is aware that he can come off as arrogant sometimes. He's really a good dude. And as I said this all comes a place of jealousy.
I'm just.... in work and work and thats it. No vacations, gotta buy generic at the store, etc. Just frustrating. And I turn 40 tomorrow.
