I have a friend who’s rather wealthy who told me unironically once, when trying to explain something else that was equally odd, that “poor people want to be like rich people, at any cost, such as trying to afford holidays they can’t afford, like Christmas.” I was slightly annoyed at him when he first said this, and he backtracked and said he didn’t think people shouldn’t celebrate holidays, but then I told this to my mom and she went, “Oh yeah, well I’m still in debt from last Christmas.” Wtf? You literally bought us sewing kits because you were broke! What the f*ck were you buying?
