Kids all grow up in the bubble of their family’s reality. Whatever’s normal at their house is normal, at least until they start school and start to visit their friends’s houses, and realize that not everyone’s “normal” looks the same.
If you grew up poor, or middle class, there were probably some things that’s existence completely amazed you – people who had those things were rich, surely.
Looking back now, it can seem silly, but everything is bigger and better when you’re small!
12. Still too rich for my blood.
It all gets to Netflix eventually.
I got three letters for you: H. B. O.

11. Those ice machines, man.
A blessing and a curse, they are.

10. Total luxury.
Have one, still appreciate it.
Having my own separate bathroom

9. That kid was cleaning up!
Little entrepreneur, that one.
Having a wall phone in your house.. Only one of my friends had one. We all used to give her a nickel to use it. She also was the only one whose parents owned their own home! The rest of us lived in apartments.

8. I never thought about this.
Going to check in my next car purchase, though.

7. In some parts of the world, no one has it.
And I would not like to live there, no thanks.
Air conditioning.

6. I was so lucky my mom got a teacher discount.
We even had a Mac.
When I was in high school desktop pcs had just become common. Only two families I knew had them.

5. I bet he took better care of his, though.
Life lessons are surely worth something.
I always thought the kids who had a new pair of Jordan shoes everytime they came out were rich. I had to save up for two years to get a pair.

4. I still don’t understand the point.
Everyone knows they’re tissues.
A box that goes over a box of tissues. My friend’s mom had one covered in sea shells and I was like “Probably they’re royal.”

3. A garage would be hard to live without, in extreme temperatures.
And some people just fill theirs with junk!
I always thought garages and coat closets were indications of wealth. When we bought a house with both, I felt like I’d won the lottery. 17 years later they’re both still my favorite things about our home. I appreciate them every single day.

2. Like winning the lottery.
There were two houses in our neighborhood.
Full size candy bars at Halloween were 🤯🤯🤯

1. I still think this.
Probably because I’ve never lived in a house with double front doors.
i was convinced that double doors on a house were the ultimate wealth indicator.

I definitely had some of these ideas myself, how about you?
Add something to the list, please!
