I have a friend who’s pretty wealthy and they feel pretty guilty about it. They’re looking at buying a house, spending the vast majority of their inherited wealth in the process. My belief is that whilst being able to do this is in a huge level of privilege, they’re much more likely to be dining than on the menu at an “eat the rich” party. And honestly, that baffles me somewhat — it highlights just how obscenely wealthy the ultra rich are if my wealthy friend is nowhere in the same ballpark
