I'm amazed at how rich kids have no perspective on what it's like to live a "normal" suburban life. If I ever have a child, and even if I am rich, I'm going to make my child shop at the Salvation Army and work a fast food job starting at the age of 15.

When he's a teenager his peers will have more influence over him than you will. By dressing him in shitty clothes and treating him like a poor, he will start hanging out with other poors, who are mostly stupid fucking apes. Thus he will start acting like a stupid fucking ape.

I don't believe that. Either your suburb was a lot nicer than you let on or you're making shit up. Or maybe you were in a heavily Asian town in California.

I went to a shitty high school and no one was even sniffing Ivy League schools. Especially not the kids who worked minimum wage jobs (and therefore weren't in AP classes, playing sports, etc.).

Whether they took up a lot of time or not, none of the AP class + varsity athlete types at my high school had minimum wage jobs. Most had (relatively) rich parents who wanted their kids to focus on school and ECs to get into a decent college. The kids who worked minimum wage at Burger King were the poors who had to help support their family, and had no chance at college.

That you had a cluster of friends who all worked minimum wage shitjobs in high school and then got into Ivies, and aren't all Asian, is unbelievable. That shit happens for like one person every 10 years in a prole white American high school, not for five people every year.

It's really not that uncommon for kids in middle-class suburbs to work part-time minimum-wage jobs for extra spending money. I had three friends who worked jobs like that and got into Ivies, though admittedly nothing better than Brown/Cornell.

Kids whose families have 10mm++ and are spoiled.

Normal suburban life - tract homes in the suburbs costing 200k-300k (or 800k-1m in california).

I also know kids whose families have 10mm+ and their parents are jewish as fuck and rarely give them money (credited).

I went to a public school in a middle class suburb, and no one worked fast food jobs (I'm not really up on their shopping habits). That sounds more like the poverty tourism behavior of a rich person.

here's a good recipe for you, though:

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,

she studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College,

that's where I,

caught her eye.

She told me that her Dad was loaded,

I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."

She said "Fine."

and in thirty seconds time she said,

"I want to live like common people,

I want to do whatever common people do,

I want to sleep with common people,

I want to sleep with common people,

like you."

Well what else could I do -

I said "I'll see what I can do."

I took her to a supermarket,

I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,

so it started there.

I said pretend you've got no money,

she just laughed and said,

"Oh you're so funny."

I said "yeah?

Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.

Are you sure you want to live like common people,

you want to see whatever common people see,

you want to sleep with common people,

you want to sleep with common people,

like me."

But she didn't understand,

she just smiled and held my hand.

Rent a flat above a shop,

cut your hair and get a job.

Smoke some fags and play some pool,

pretend you never went to school.

But still you'll never get it right,

cos when you're laid in bed at night,

watching roaches climb the wall,

if you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people,

you'll never do what common people do,

you'll never fail like common people,

you'll never watch your life slide out of view,

and dance and drink and screw,

because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people,

sing along and it might just get you through,

laugh along with the common people,

laugh along even though they're laughing at you,

and the stupid things that you do.

Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people,

I want to live with common people...

to specify, not just fast food bro, places like the mall and target. fast food is the general term referring to shitty minimum wage jobs. plenty of middle class high schoolers work at the mall.

Fuck perspective. The richer I get the less I give a fuck about that kind of thing and I'm far from billionaire rich.

They dont need perspective on the lives of poors to not be useless. My kid not knowing or caring what the price of milk is won't stop him from achieving whatever he wants to achieve. The problem with rich kids is when you arent striving for money you become crazy cynical even faster. They have their quarter life crisis at 12 basically because they never had to build up any kinds of illusions about bettering their station which is basically what we convince poors they can and should be doing, but the ones with character overcome this shit just like most twenty somethings overcome their quarter life episodes and do manage to become half-way productive members of society. Most are not totally useless.

In reality, what you want to do is make them start their own business. Teach them all the shit they need to know to start a small little business and a few languages, and if and only if they meet those obligations, would they get some spending money. That's what I would do with my kids if I were rich.

Not sure working at a fast food place would be helpful at all, though there's a book where the kids learn like that "Rich dad, poor dad."

The funnier thing is the super rich kids or even adults who still pretend that money is an object. I have a friend with a $10mm trust fund who told me after college that he was just saving up so that he could go to grad school....he actually wanted to be normal and connect with average people. Same with a friend whose family literally has billions who just last month I talked with about getting discounts on plane tickets.

not really. his parents only buy him suits, suit shirts, fancy jackets and silk ties and shit. most of that is tailored and nothing that you can wear on a casual basis. only middle aged men wear the few casual things they buy him

if someone asked, hed probably give it away since he doesnt wear 95% of it. he still has stuff in his closet with tags on it from years ago that cost 400 bucks

Sounds like a well-adjusted dood. Not his fault he inherited money, and it really isn't his fault that he spends it, either.

I don't have nearly as much as he does, but I've had a similar experience along those lines. I still love getting discount airfare though.

Your kids can still have nice things and designer brands by shopping at Ross, Marshall's, online... show them Slickdeals, limit their consumption... then the kid will realize how stupid other kids are for wanting retail priced shit at shopping malls.

It's more important that you teach your kids how to be efficient with money, maximize utility in a smart way, and expose them to the wastefulness of people in society. It's prevalent at all classes of society - and arguably more waste occurs at the bottom tiers of society when you consider the waste relative to their respective means.

Some level of reasonableness and perspective should be instilled in the kids if they're rich. I have no interest in paying for their shit when they're in their 20s (rent, lifestyle $, etc), so they should get used to having to forego certain luxuries.

Keeping kids around other rich kids runs the risk of making them snots, but the risks are greater if they hang around poors. This thread is littered with proles who have no idea about wealthy families.

I have a friend who recently moved into her parents' MFH condo after spending a couple years traveling. She once said to me, completely serious, "I had such a great day today. I got up around 10am, went to yoga, met a friend for lunch, then walked around the park for a bit. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I had a job. I don't understand why so many people choose to work." I literally did not know how to respond to that.
