To think these are the wealthy people habits?

[Saju1]

Not spending on perishable items..

Reads a lot..

Has a hobby...

What are others?

Eats junk food for lunch - Bill Gates
Wears the same style of clothes every day - Steve Jobs & Mark Zuckerburg
Drives a 14 year old car - Warren Buffett

The trick is to deseed them in water! Cut in half and submerge in a bowl of water and just press them quickly with your fingers to get the seeds out. The seeds sink but the white pith and stuff floats so can be quickly skimmed off with a sieve. Takes about 30 seconds.

But I am a wealthy person with a bowl and a sieve and a pomegranate.

I my experience wealthy people all have the same thing in common : money

Ah we grew up poor and didn’t buy perishable items.

tinned dinners, no butter or milk as mum would leave it out the fridge. We did have bread, but of course filled with crap to stop it going off. Filling would be that stuff in a jar - beef paste.

so that one I can kind of understand tbh 🤣 replies are funny tho

If you was really wealthy you'd pay a pleb to do it for you....and peel your grapes!

I wonder if OP is a student or similar looking for sneaky material for her dissertation "Class and Culture in 21st Century in Britain"
I predict a resubmission!

Ime wealthy people also are not generous and rarely give to charity.
Gifts are used or cheap.
It's a lack of generosity of spirit
Or maybe I just know a lot of rich twats

Mixing with high society,

Sorry but that's nonsense.

We're a family of readers, the 7 yo reads every night in his own and is a few years ahead of his reading age, even the 3 yos love to flick through a BOOK, DH and I have been bookworms our entire lives.

He also writes and draws comics and I volunteer and love the theatre (ideally live) which is a love I'm instilling in DS through dance and ballet performances etc, even the twins have started at baby shows.
DS does two after school clubs full time and the art classes at school when then run.

We're working class living on a working class estate attending a working class state primary.

From the exceptionally wealthy people I know:

Using things until they fall apart and then getting them mended.
Not having the lastest anything.
Looking at every possible way to save ie coupons.
Bargaining hard for every purchase.
Seeing investment opportunities that others aren't interested in.
Sheer bloody-mindedness.
Taking a homemade sandwich out rather than eat in a cafe.
Ignoring fashion.
Blagging free stays in other peoples houses rather than pay for a holiday.

I read a lot. I just get my butler to knit me loo roll after he cooks my dodo burgers

OP have you confused “perishables” with “consumer durables”? After all, a pint of milk and a 65” flatscreen TV are very similar…

What a marvellous tip! I shall pass it on to cook. She always has to change her apron after preparing mine for me! Otherwise she ends up looking like Lady Macbeth 🤣🤣 The stains are simply vile. But the seeds are so exquisite it’s worth the extra effort of having to ask my maid to do an extra wash.

I have always read alot throughout different periods of poverty and wealth

My friend is unable to work due to disability. She dresses well in that she has to buy for warmth, so her coat, her jumpers, many of her trousers even are all wool, cashmere, angora - frankly whatever she can find in the charity shop. Doesn't make her wealthy, but she is rich in life experience. And knows the best charity shops to use, and which day to go shopping in them.

The normal rich people I know also shop in charity shops, car boot sales type things, look for salea

It is the people I know (not friends) who want to be rich are the ones that just by designer so it looks like they are

Gosh, I must be ever so wealthy and must just have not realised it till now! Must check my bank account!

This thread is absolutely entertaining me this morning.

"Only wealthy people read a lot" is one of the most bizarre things I've heard.

Wealthy people don't have the time to read much, from my experience.

😂😂😂😂

I do all those things but I'm not wealthy hahaha

"perishable items"

You mean like knicker elastic?

Very strange thread.

I get the perishable bit (assuming it's a typo and she meant the opposite) when I see that fresh pasta in the supermarket I always think someone who buys that has made it and imagine it to be the tastiest delicacy in the world. In my heart I know it's not. But as i walk past it in the supermarket I imagine it to be a sign I've made it. And then I pick up the basic own brand penne dry pasta.

Confused too. I not wealthy and do many of the things listed.

You deseed wealthy people?

Some wealthy people do have that confidence not to feel the need to buy ostentatiously - eg shabby car (handy for dogs and horsey stuff), less obsession with showy holidays, and a certain contentment with what they've got - I sometimes try to emulate that!
