Well she had a point I mean it seems exaggerated but even rich families can have huge issues. I knew a family who had millions and almost all the kids had drug issues and were really isolated from other family members
Yeah I know but usually the family does not have to join together to survive richer families have less chemistry and more money to spend

Most families I know have moderate to serious problems, at least the rich families don't have to worry so much about finance too. That can have the transportation they want, have the extracurricular activities they want, and go to almost any college they can get accepted into with marginally less worry and difficulty. In a society that operates primarily off of money, having enough to not have to monitor what you spending and decide if it's worth it all the time is quite beifical.

To add onto this, I'm not saying they shouldn't compain about their home life as far as familial relations go, everyone needs to vent every once and a while, but those who complain that their money is causing their problems bother me. I'd like to see them get their money taken away and see how they handle it. Most, with the exception of those whose money was actually causing them problems (shopping addiction, poor financial knowledge, guilty over spending to the point of self hatred, all extremes) will probably want their money back over after a couple of weeks when they realize they can't live the way their used too.
Wtf dude it's perfectly normal to complain about your problems. Like okay the Honda comment makes her look like a spoiled shit but having a broken family is a legitimate problem. It's as big of a problem as any other and just because they're rich they don't automatically live a perfect life. Money can buy things that make you happy but doesn't magically rid you of all problems.
This "you can't complain because someone out there has it worse" logic has always been grinding my gears. If we think that way then we'd better find the single most unhappy person and only allow them the right to ever complain.
It was well said but that one works more for your own motivation to "push on" or keep going. I don't know how to put it into words. Like, if you have a flat tire. If you tell yourself it could be worse, you could not have a car at all. It works better than if someone else were to tell you the same thing.
@chu I know, I know.
@aeacus Oh definitely, I have nothing against that, but one person telling another to stop talking about their problems because "some people have it worse" is what makes me mad. The weight of one's worries shouldn't be dismissed by someone else's worries.
I think the point may have been not that hey we're complaining, but they were complaining their money caused their problems. The social pressure on the rich may be higher, but so is the financial stability. It probably depends person to person, but there are people I know who complain about things without considering the alternatives or even what their really saying. I happen to agree with you though, in your one worse things does not negate a bad one ideal, so take my words as you may. (If they make any sense, I'm writing this considerably sleep deprived)
"Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore"
Dooo eeet
'Money can't buy happiness'
Gimme and show you
