Lighthearted.
Have you ever benefitted from a wealthy benefactor?
I know somebody who comes from a poor background, yet has many wealthy benefactors who subsidise her lifestyle. These people aren't family, and nothing nefarious, but it ranges from clothes and meals out to holidays, free furniture, subsidised rent, help with new cars or repairs. She even has expensive pets which have been purchased for her, and the costs of their upkeep are covered by someone else, which can cost several thousands of pounds. Whilst she claims to not have much, with all this help, I suspect she is far better off than most.
Sure, my post smacks of jealousy, but I'm wondering whether this is the case for anybody else? Anything I want i have to earn myself which i think is the case for the majority.
But am I missing out on some generous connections?
