If you are looking to read like the rich, then it’s time to take a look at 11 upscale luxury magazines for the rich. Do you remember that show Silver Spoons? No? Well, then you’ll likely never know what it is like to be rich because Ricky Stratton on that show gave the performance of a lifetime. He stoically managed the trials and tribulations of being rich and also a young, good-looking, blond, white child. It was really something to behold.
Unfortunately, you will never know the pain of crappy rich people. How tiring it is for them to appear to be ‘down to earth.’ How tough it is to lie to themselves about not spoiling their kids. My parents told us we were spoiled if we complained about Shoprite brand potato chips, because “there are kids out there who don’t even have chips!” And you know what? As insane as that sounds, they are right. Richness is relative, but I am no fan of rich people–as you may have been able to piece together.
