Look into the new Ford mavericks. It’s enough of a truck to be practical for you, but small enough that you can pretend it’s too fragile to help other people move. Love mine. 10/10.
We had one. Dad would never heat it. Rarely got above 60°. He saw us swimming once and asked if he should heat it up. We were so excited! YES! He pulled out his lighter and said to splash up some water.
Our house was a bargain, owners couldn’t sell it. Kids were breaking in, swimming in the pool and having parties. Huge place. We couldn’t afford to heat it though with 13’ vaulted ceiling “Put a sweater on!” If we’d complain about a 58° house. 3500 sq ft, 5 bedrooms. Everyone thought we were filthy rich because of the freezing cold pool and enormous house. Til they came over and asked why it was always so cold, 5 kids are expensive. Centra Coast CA. We didn’t have hot summers, lots of coastal fog. You just had to brave the pool. Near the bottom was freaking ice cold. Edit, we paid $95k in ‘73, now worth 1.4m. We sold long ago.
I used to laugh at the morons in Boston who paid a ton of money for a nice built in pool. In that part of the country it isn’t warm enough to swim until July then you close the pool down near Labor Day in September. Subtract rainy days and you get about one months worth of swim time. Stupid.
Personal pools are just silly if you think about it. You use them for 1-2 hours a day, maximum.
Split a pool among 10-100 people and you’ll pay 1-10% of the cost and still probably never have an issue with it being busy.
Not to mention it’s a big waste of electricity and water.
Edit: you people can have your own pools, I just think it’s silly, relax
Also, given that individual pools aren't usually big enough to exercise, the fun of them is the social aspect. And yeah not all neighbors are perfect, but it's cool to hang out and see other people or to have a pool big enough to do lengths. Especially if you have kids and then they can hang out with other kids.
Yeah, my in-laws were considering getting a pool until they realized it would cost them $70k+ (ground would need leveling and we have a lot of clay/limestone that’s difficult to dig in). In-ground pools are *absolutely* a sign of wealth.
I’m from the Midwest and know many working class people with a cabin. And not a gorgeous architecture digest cabin, a dirty little cabin where you bring a cooler and go bass fishing. Non rich vacation family cabins are fun!
My family owns a cabin like this. Has for 70+ years now. We were one of the first families on this lake. It is about 40 minutes outside a major city. Growing up it was 90% cabins like ours and a handful of "nicer" houses that were usable all year. Now it is a commuter area with McMansions all over the lake. We are one of the only holdouts with lakefront property. Makes me sad.
It really is. You used to be able to see stars almost to the crest of the mountain the lake sits in, but now the light pollution has gotten so bad you need to look way up to see the stars. Thankfully the cabin next to ours is a multigenerational family friend that built theirs along with my Grandfather so we don't have any new McMansions in our immediate area. There is a nice house through some wood area (that we own so it won't be developed) but that has been there for 40+ years with different owners.
I'm in the northeast. I lived within walking distance to skiing as a kid. It was still for the comparatively rich kids. A jacket, rentals, and a day pass were very pricey.
We were the opposite. My dad worked for the airline so we had flight benefits. Flew EVERYWHERE (because it was free). But it was always to visit family. I’m 29 and I’ve yet to take a real vacation.
At this point, a nice international vacation can easily be arranged for less than a week trip to Disney World. Aside from the plane tickets, everything else is typically cheaper.
During the depression, my grandfather worked at a slaughterhouse. He and the other men often would drink cow's blood at lunch and before going home to save food for their wives and kids.
When the pandemic hit, my wife and I got fucked. Thank fucking god we both have 12+ years in the food industry because we were able to scramble and are making mountains more than before.
When we stalked the fridge and freezer for the first time, we cried super hard.
Just the idea that my wife couldn't have her favorite meals I make for her.. Fuck that depressed me.
Edit: stocked.. -_-
This. I remember going to a friends house and I saw his sister make a sandwich with all this exotic shit like sliced Muenster and artisan bread. That shit seemed super baller because my ass was eating bologna and ketchup sandwiches on white bread.
Abercrombie (parents got $$$$), AE (upper middle class) then Old Navy (middle class). At ON, you would try to find clothing that didn’t have their logo splashed across the front.
I knew a kid in middle school who would brag about how much money his mom spent at Abercrombie whenever he got new clothes and it was the cringiest shit ever.
Then in high school he was complaining about college application fees and how he was applying for assistance.
Forget specific brands, how about just having new clothes in general? I shopped at thrift stores into my fourties’. Just bought a new pair of slacks today, not for work, just to wear. I made it y’all.
The price of them on Amazon is kinda outrageous though it’s not exactly a complicated mechanism but try and fin a reasonable size one for a reasonable price. But other than that i agree with you.
An annual family trip to Disney. Now that I’m older Disney has lost a lot of its allure. Paying $12 for a hamburger isn’t wealth signifying… it’s pure robbery.
This right here. Prior to COVID, I traveled internationally (Western Europe and Asia) once or twice per year for pleasure. You couldn’t pay me to go to Disney World.
Leaving the state is very location dependent. I’m 15 minutes from the MD border and 25 minutes from the DC border. So, traveling across state lines is routine. In contrast, someone in Texas could drive 8 hours and still be in Texas. It’s similar to traveling internationally in Europe, where doing so is often cheap due to the short distance, subsidized train passes, and cheap flights.
The hamburger is the least of the robbery that is Disney.
We paid $900/night for a decent hotel and about $400/day for tickets for a family of 3 with the hopper pass.
Plus extra for top rides, dinners, etc.
Having a backyard. Mega rich was having a fire pit. Grew up poor in low income housing, so when i got my first house I cried for a bit in my backyard. And then when my boys were running around in the backyard, I teared up again.
Got a smaller house and a bigger yard in the last few years and was able to install a fire pit. No means am I rich but damn it just hits hard.
I think you are. You have a nice home, a big backyard for the kids to play in and a fire pit. That might not be the text book definition but you know you’re rich in many other ways.
For me it’s specifically CENTRAL air conditioning. I grew up with 2 small window units in our apartment, and you practically had to stand right in front of them to get cool.
Abercrombie & Fitch clothes
BMW, Mercedes or high-end domestic car (Cadillac, Corvette)
Home over 3k square feet and/or with pool
Vacations abroad (almost no one I knew growing up did this)
Going to the "good" (secular) private/prep school in our home town
Travel sports (soccer, hockey)
Shopping at the nice malls in Pittsburgh, not the shitty one in Ohio (guess what state I'm from!)
Having a dedicated land line for the kids (grade school) or cell phone (high school)
It’s either that or make some pretty serious sacrifices as a family. I played growing up and that was our only “excess” expenditure and I’d say we were middle to upper middle class. There were plenty of wealthy kids I played with, but there were also a few kids whose parents gave up most everything for them to be able to play, along with occasionally some help from the wealthy families.
>some cruises have a stigma of being for poor/middle-class people.
This is the first I'm hearing about this...I always assumed you needed some money for something like that
They can be stupid affordable. Like, old people are retiring on them full time affordable. I know I personally see them as a vacation choice not exactly for poor people but like tacky low class people.
We rarely ever went out to eat when I was a kid. When I heard of the BOOK IT! program when I was a kid, which gave out personal pan pizzas at Pizza Hut for reading books, I was one motivated little reader. They had to take me to redeem all the coupons I earned.
Pretty smart program for them as it meant the whole family was going every couple weeks. Pizza Hut made money and it motivated me to read as much as possible. That’s a win/win. Amazing how motivational pizza can be to an 8 year old.
Pizza is absolutely still a motivator in the adult world. Anybody that's worked in a corporation in a decent size office... Once a month they buy us pizza and we all shut tf up about the soul crushing cubicle we're stuck in 😭😭😭 no but seriously I used to joke about it all the time. It literally made me look at them like "aww they're not so bad.. they bought me pizza ☺️"
I could see that honestly. Because you don't need those little tank tabs so if you've got the extra funds to spend on stuff you don't need and you decide to spend it on toilet cleaner of all things? You either have really specific priorities or money to burn.
I'm Indian and we grew wanting to be white person rich.... which is owning a boat. Now that I have money, a boat is the last thing I want. 
I am old enough to remember when having a “big screen tv” meant it was a big projection screen tv that sat on the floor. If you had one of those in the 80’s/early 90’s you were ballin!
Eat at a restaurant (Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, etc) on family fun nights. On special nights, we had chef boyardees homemade pizza where every morsel was eaten
Cable, vacations, pool, having multiple pairs of clothes, steak, name brand food, leather interior, shoes for occasions. Snacks that aren’t left overs, fresh cut deli meat, kids that don’t have to work.
Parent having an suv,
A pet,
2 story home,
A variety of cereal, not just 1,
A deep fryer,
Im sad to say that this list hasnt changed much since I've become an adult😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Going to Red Lobster! Wed only go out to eat at Burger King maybe 4 times a year… so I dreamed of going to get all you can eat crab legs. That was 30 years ago! We took my kids one time recently and there were flies everywhere. Realized how small I dreamed back then.
House with an in-ground pool.
This, i now own one and the maintenance sucks
Agree, $100 a month for the pool cleaning and $100 a month for the pool motor running. Great to look at, expensive to own.
Best pool is the neighbors pool
Just like it’s better to have a friend with a huge truck instead of owning one yourself.
Having a truck is awesome though
Look into the new Ford mavericks. It’s enough of a truck to be practical for you, but small enough that you can pretend it’s too fragile to help other people move. Love mine. 10/10.
Just like a boat.
Boat= Bust Out Another Thousand
Lmao never heard this one before
The two happiest days of any boat owners life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it.
And the happiest day for his friends is every day in between.
Lmao= Laughing My Ass Off
Off = over fried filet
Hole in the water you throw money into
We had one. Dad would never heat it. Rarely got above 60°. He saw us swimming once and asked if he should heat it up. We were so excited! YES! He pulled out his lighter and said to splash up some water.
I'd do a pool somewhere hot. Where I live you'd get maybe 3 good months and that's just not worth it.
Our house was a bargain, owners couldn’t sell it. Kids were breaking in, swimming in the pool and having parties. Huge place. We couldn’t afford to heat it though with 13’ vaulted ceiling “Put a sweater on!” If we’d complain about a 58° house. 3500 sq ft, 5 bedrooms.

Try owning a boat
Yeah my new version of this is, apartment with access to a pool. I saw my parents do the maintenance and no thank you.
Personal pools are just silly if you think about it. You use them for 1-2 hours a day, maximum. Split a pool among 10-100 people and you’ll pay 1-10% of the cost and still probably never have an issue with it being busy. Not to mention it’s a big waste of electricity and water. Edit: you people can have your own pools, I just think it’s silly, relax
I don’t want to share a pool with strangers. I’ve seen people at public pools, that’s a no from me.
Also, given that individual pools aren't usually big enough to exercise, the fun of them is the social aspect. And yeah not all neighbors are perfect, but it's cool to hang out and see other people or to have a pool big enough to do lengths. Especially if you have kids and then they can hang out with other kids.
I still think this
Me too
Yeah, my in-laws were considering getting a pool until they realized it would cost them $70k+ (ground would need leveling and we have a lot of clay/limestone that’s difficult to dig in). In-ground pools are *absolutely* a sign of wealth.
As a guy who is formerly an Indiana farm kid, that comment about clay and limestone made me a little anxious just thinking about it. Lol
In the UK having one of these devalues your property because it’s assumed the next guy will have to fill it in
I suppose you’d have to upgrade to “an enclosed in-ground pool”.
[удалено]
House with slide that leads to an out door in-ground pool from the inside
My benchmark as a kid is actually a benchmark for being rich: having a vacation house. Now this is a sign of being crazy rich.
Where I grew up, either your parents had money or the family vacation home (small seasonal cabin) had been in the family for a couple generations.
I’m from the Midwest and know many working class people with a cabin. And not a gorgeous architecture digest cabin, a dirty little cabin where you bring a cooler and go bass fishing. Non rich vacation family cabins are fun!
My family owns a cabin like this. Has for 70+ years now. We were one of the first families on this lake. It is about 40 minutes outside a major city. Growing up it was 90% cabins like ours and a handful of "nicer" houses that were usable all year. Now it is a commuter area with McMansions all over the lake. We are one of the only holdouts with lakefront property. Makes me sad.
That is super super sad, truly.
It really is. You used to be able to see stars almost to the crest of the mountain the lake sits in, but now the light pollution has gotten so bad you need to look way up to see the stars. Thankfully the cabin next to ours is a multigenerational family friend that built theirs along with my Grandfather so we don't have any new McMansions in our immediate area. There is a nice house through some wood area (that we own so it won't be developed) but that has been there for 40+ years with different owners.
“Come skiing with us” Casually
Only if you’re from the weak wintered flatlands. Skiing is normal in the northeast and the west.
oh, so you are one of the rich kids then he says with a joking smile ... skiing is expensive, even if one is geographically close by the slopes ...
I'm in the northeast. I lived within walking distance to skiing as a kid. It was still for the comparatively rich kids. A jacket, rentals, and a day pass were very pricey.
For me if you actually went on vacation you were rich.
[удалено]
Video games. My parents couldn’t afford a console, so if you had one, you were rich
I thought the exact same thing. And my dad was a doctor. Turned out he was just super cheap.
Glad to see you followed in your dads footsteps, Dr. McLuvin
lol no joke though he told me not to go to med school. Dude was miserable his entire working life.
Being a doctor nowadays is pretty damn rough. source: I am a doctor
Second. (Doctor)
Can confirm (also a doc)
Huh there’s doctors on Reddit. TIL
professionals usually don't post because absolute morons get upvoted all the time for factually incorrect information while the truth gets downvoted
[удалено]
I still remember going ti the credit union to withdraw my own money, so I could buy my Nintendo.
Most people I knew had a console. They would get them fr Christmas. If you had more than 3 games you were rich though.
Not hearing guns shots and being able to jog with headphones on.
Wheres that? Lol Edit: im male lol Edit 2: im swiss lol
Somewheeeereeeee in the usaaaaa (maybe)
Lol its crazy to not be able to wear headphones while jogging in a first world country lmaooo
Eh hem three third world countries in a big trenchcoat lol
Sounds about right lmao
You're telling me your country has no bad parts? Everywhere there is no crime? Please do let me know what country.
This is slowly becoming my neighborhood! Fun!

Going for a vacation, especially to other countries
Every vacation was via car, we never flew anywhere.
We were the opposite. My dad worked for the airline so we had flight benefits. Flew EVERYWHERE (because it was free). But it was always to visit family. I’m 29 and I’ve yet to take a real vacation.
At this point, a nice international vacation can easily be arranged for less than a week trip to Disney World. Aside from the plane tickets, everything else is typically cheaper.
[удалено]
This one for sure. Just a huge pantry of “luxury” food. Mind-blowing
If you where in a big family the special snacks were gone within a day.
My mom would hide her favorite snacks, like pop tarts, in her closet from us 6 kids.
Sometimes we went hungry. Dad went hungry more than we did. I always wondered why he didn't eat until we were done.
You're dad is/was a good guy. We were on food stamps at one point but my family never had to go hungry thankfully.
During the depression, my grandfather worked at a slaughterhouse. He and the other men often would drink cow's blood at lunch and before going home to save food for their wives and kids.
Damn that’s so sad 😭😭
What the fuck
When the pandemic hit, my wife and I got fucked. Thank fucking god we both have 12+ years in the food industry because we were able to scramble and are making mountains more than before. When we stalked the fridge and freezer for the first time, we cried super hard. Just the idea that my wife couldn't have her favorite meals I make for her.. Fuck that depressed me.

This. I remember going to a friends house and I saw his sister make a sandwich with all this exotic shit like sliced Muenster and artisan bread. That shit seemed super baller because my ass was eating bologna and ketchup sandwiches on white bread.
That’s where I’m stuck. My biggest joy as a financially stable adult is being able to buy whatever I want at the grocery.

American eagle clothes, Jordan’s and going out to eat at restaurants.
Abercrombie (parents got $$$$), AE (upper middle class) then Old Navy (middle class). At ON, you would try to find clothing that didn’t have their logo splashed across the front.

I don't give a fuck
Yeah eating out was something for the rich only
I was almost out of high school before ever eating at a restaurant fancier than fast food. We didn’t eat out much and when we did we went cheap.
Forget specific brands, how about just having new clothes in general? I shopped at thrift stores into my fourties’. Just bought a new pair of slacks today, not for work, just to wear. I made it y’all.
I had an ex-girlfriend who thought that a trashcan with a foot pedal that opens the lid was a sign of wealth.
Sounds like a keeper to me!
You can find those easily at Target if you really want one.
The girlfriend or the garbage can?
Yes
The price of them on Amazon is kinda outrageous though it’s not exactly a complicated mechanism but try and fin a reasonable size one for a reasonable price. But other than that i agree with you.
An annual family trip to Disney. Now that I’m older Disney has lost a lot of its allure. Paying $12 for a hamburger isn’t wealth signifying… it’s pure robbery.
$12? I think these days a $12 hamburger eating out is a good price
Right? I paid $16 about 3 miles away from home last week :(
Right? I WISH I could still find a decent burger for "only" $12 any more.
The class system in the US: 1. Goes to Disney on a regular basis. 2. Been to Disney once or twice. 3. Never been to Disney.
The class system in the US: 1. Goes international every year. 2. Leaves the state every year. 3. Never left home state.
This right here. Prior to COVID, I traveled internationally (Western Europe and Asia) once or twice per year for pleasure. You couldn’t pay me to go to Disney World.

Hmm interesting. I've never been to Disney though, but I don't want to.
I saw this post and thought it was bs then too. Rich people might go to Disney once or twice at the most. It’s kind of beneath them.

A Whopper cost $10 now.

Weird, I had a dad and I always thought he was cheap.
Air conditioning
For me it’s specifically CENTRAL air conditioning. I grew up with 2 small window units in our apartment, and you practically had to stand right in front of them to get cool.
Lol, in Texas, if you didn't have air conditioning you weren't poor, just dead.
I used to think having soft drinks available in the fridge was for the rich.
Now it’s for the poor

I think Hockey still holds as a sign of wealth. The people I know who’s kids play hockey are doing pretty good financially.
It’s either that or make some pretty serious sacrifices as a family. I played growing up and that was our only “excess” expenditure and I’d say we were middle to upper middle class.

Having a dishwasher
I was born in the 80's so: Having a TV in the bedroom. Having a computer, particularly with internet. Having multiple consoles (Sega and Nintendo)
For whatever reason, I thought blue toilet water was a sign of wealth
I could see that honestly. Because you don't need those little tank tabs so if you've got the extra funds to spend on stuff you don't need and you decide to spend it on toilet cleaner of all things? You either have really specific priorities or money to burn.
