One thing that bothered me

I saw this film yesterday and it made me think. I was born rich myself... nowhere near as much as the people in this film: we never had hundreds of millions of dollars or mansions, but my dad had at least a couple million dollars, a couple of nice houses and some luxury cars, and we lived pretty well.

As I grew up I never had to worry about money and spent it without thinking. When I was in my late teens I would regularly spend $20 on dinner daily without thinking that was unusual. Then I got a regular job and made more middle class and poor friends and I realized how much money was really worth. It kind of bothered me the way I would spend money, and I changed. Even though my family still has money today, I spend very little, usually cooking very inexpensive dinners.

One thing about the film that struck me was when one girl said she wouldn't date a poorer guy because he might get upset if she spends a ton on money on clothes... did she ever consider he might be right? Maybe she is wasting money and could learn from a guy who had to find happiness in places other than a clothing store. Anyway that's just what went through my mind while watching this...
