      Flying economy just for fun?

      It is just her humble bragging about being rich by cosplaying as a regular person.

        yeah, it’s ridiculous - but the core messaging is “money insulates you from reality” and that’s something these people need to hear.

          She “launched her first six-figure business in middle school” aka. has rich parents and never knew anything she is talking about here

            Every “independently” wealthy person under 35 on the Internet.

            Step 1, have lavishly rich parents

            Step 2, use parents money and business networks to make money

            Step 3, brag about being humble while also flaunting your wealth.

              I don’t think it’s restricted to under 35 and on the internet. I know a 40 something year old that says shit like “my wife and I are so independent and good with our money, we don’t get any handouts. The only gift we get is that her parents pay off our credit cards every Christmas” unironically.

              Rich people are so fucking out of touch.

                Lol, fair enough. It’s basically impossible nowadays to be comfortable without a little help, even if it’s just systemic in nature.

                I’m in my mid-late 30s and doing really well compared to most of the people in my age bracket mostly out of dumb luck and because my dad was in the military.

                During the last housing market scare I was able to buy a run down abandoned house for 35k after qualifying for a loan through USAA that I really shouldn’t have ever been approved for. Just stupid little things like that can really make a huge difference in the long run.

              By preference using state mechanisms or idk some kind of people’s tribunal. Future bleak as fuck so at a certain point enough people will be okay with either

                There is a high enough quantity of millionaire/billionaire simps who can prevent this from proceeding by protecting those pieces of trash that this will likely never happen in your lifetime.

                  Ok well lets just drown in shit then, never mind any historical precedences at all (even only a few years back up until today).

                  You are pretty much one of those simps right now, you are defending the statues quo.

                    No, I’m trying to tell you that waving signs and pointing fingers does jack-shit. Either you bring them violence or complain about it impotently on the internet. Guess which you and I are guilty of?

        Pretending to be rich yet grounded while actually being neither.

        That’s pretty much what I was thinking. Wish we poor plebs could vosplay as rich without maxing out ourncredit cards for life.

        It’s her justifying to herself that whatever success she previously had and just lost was a choice, not a failure on her part. Clearly her business took a turn for the worse.

      Not really. It’s more an attempt to prove that rich people and poor people are vibing together so the poors don’t revolt.
