I hate these questions. I just wanted a family. A kind husband and 4 kids. I came from broken family and I wondered what stable parents would be like. I have the vivid memory of a mom walking her kids to school every morning. We lived in a tough neighborhood. Gangs...Where was mine? Sleeping, no joke. Did I manage it? I wish I could say yes. At 40 hubby found himself in his midlife crises. I have forged ahead and became my 3 kids rock. We are tight. I’m in a good place.

Back when I was in high school I worked in room service at the Marriott in Paris (I’m French).
I was mind blown by those fancy people ordering 18€ burgers or just one bottle of beer with a huge room service fee on top of the 200€+ a night/room. I was fantasizing that they were world travelers on glamorous vacations in Paris with no money worry in the world.
Now I realize that they were people like me now who had to spend the night in their dumb hotel room eating there while churning slides instead of discovering gourmet nearby restaurant.
I feel sad for them and I am so glad I only realized that later instead of being jaded and disappointed in what the future could hold.

I have European and Asian heritage and I thought life wasn’t worth living unless you lived in London and Paris. I still love both cities but not sure I can live in either now.

Buying clothes or ordering food without looking at the price. I always thought that the day I am able to do this, it means I’ve made it.

A house with a garage and a lawn, chandeliers, having the ability to take care of a pet, a fridge big enough with 2 pull out bottom freezers, ordering things that isn’t the main entree at a restaurant, affording to eat out on vacation and not bringing cup noodles to trips
An office with a little putting green that shot the ball back to you and clear glass bottles with brown liquor in them.

International vaca’s, two week skiing holidays, fancy cars and big house.
Any Japanese car.
I come from a country where car import tax is 100%. So, to be able to afford a basic Toyota is a luxury.

For me it was having a relative working outside of the country. I never had anyone who ever left the country so it was huge.

You sound mad.
More than 1 "big" car in your house. Big as in a 4x4, 7 passenger car
If you had a real putting green in your yard you were rich. If you had ice sculptures at your parties you were rich. If you had a entrance/gate to your property that was an 8th of a mile from your house you were rich. I miss being rich.
