“Indifference is the greatest sign of wealth.”
For people who grew up pretty well off, it can be easy to overlook your privileges.
But for others who weren’t quite as fortunate, those privileges can be all too obvious.
And a lot of the time, wealth shows itself in little, not so blatant ways.
(At least not so blatant to the people who are lucky enough to have/experience them.)
Here are some of the examples people gave:

“Those fridges with the water dispenser on it.”

That was the rich I wanted to be.

I wanted to just go buy necessities like gas and food without worrying.
