How do you bring them up in line with your financial reality yet unspoiled? How do you say no to their requests when you can easily afford it all?

do other people know you are wealthy? do you feel like you are treated differently? Do you ever wonder if people are only your friends because you are wealthy? do you feel like you have more of a say in community politics?

I don’t work.
I have a full house of kids bh.
Happier? I was always a very happy nature. So that’s kind of a good question. But I think it makes me happier especially that I didn’t grow up wealthy at all. In fact, we grew up poor. And the first few years of my married life we also struggled. But looking back- I was so happy then too.

This question gives me the feeling that you’re ate financially well off too, correct me if I’m wrong.
This is one of the most challenging things for a wealthy family and it’s something that people don’t realize.
I definitely draw my lines where I should or shouldn’t spend money, my children know how to value money. Basically, we go along with the flow. We do what’s the norm in our circles. And sometimes, I have to think a lot before buying something for a child. For example- I bought a specific new necessatie for my dd. After using it for a few days she decided it wasn’t so in style, so she wanted another one. It was no big deal to replace it. It was all of $30. But we chose not to spoil her.

Being wealthy usually becomes public knowledge. So the answer is yes, whoever knows us knows that we are wealthy. We keep a very low profile so we are treated equally. The friends I have are my friends from years ago, nothing has changed. Answer to your last question- as o said we keep a very low profile so - no.

I can’t answer everything but I’ll try. Some of my kids have their own bedroom.
Vacationing is nothing out of the US as I don’t like to waste too much time on travel- as I said, I have a family of kids.

Do you feel superior to other people?
I have a friend who is well-off and when I ask her for a recommendation- say for a good doctor she used-will respond with something like “He’s very expensive, try this and this other dr. who takes insurance”. So belittling.
