The constant, low-key stress of stretching every dollar, things that feel normal to you can seem invisible to someone who’s never had to worry about it.

yeah the mental math never stops - like automatically calculating if you can afford that extra side of fries or if getting gas today means skipping lunch tomorrow.

I would say if its self made; they can definitely relate. But agreed if its generational

Becoming incredibly stingy. Oh wait....erm. Bathroom humor. That seems to be a big divide among the classes. I had wealthy friends who found me calling a floater a "floater" offensive.

Rich people often appear to be blissfully unaware that poor folk have to regularly check bank accounts to see if we can afford things whereas they just tap their card and move on. Something I noticed being friends with wealthy people.

Being hesitant to spend money on themselves, even when they can afford it, because they’re used to prioritizing needs over wants.

The very concept of "*I can't afford that*". And I don't mean fantasising about super Yachts or private jets, but if an appliance like your washing machine breaks you can't afford to just stroll on down and get a replacement.
