Loving the fantasy
Seriously,
I have no idea how much liquid money we have
nor do I know the details of our assets and investments.
How do I get my husband to share?

My white couch got a stain and it will obviously have to go, anyone know of a company that I can get new white couch that will hopefully last longer, 1-2 yrs max is all I need.

I’m sorry you’ve suffered such a terrible loss.

As an admittedly wealthy person, I am insulted that in your minds having money equals arrogance and being shallow.not to mention outright criminal activity.

My fantasy threads if I were a rich woman... Hmm.
We finally finished building my dream woman-cave and now I never want to leave. Friends and family are getting concerned. Help?
My best friend outbid me at an auction for a first edition of my favorite book. She knew how much I wanted this. I'm so hurt now. How can I get past this?

We’re just having fantasy fun , fargin us some *free* entertainment.
But on a serious note : I do have wealthy family.
They’d never launder money and they aren’t shallow.

I don’t know. I got lots of money and yet most days I just want to die. If I didn’t have lots of money things would probably be worse.... but then again maybe if I didn’t have lots of money then some of my other problems would not be here .

True story
We ate meals by two of the wealthiest Jewish names in the world. One was super down to earth and practical. One was super frivolous. It was fascinating to see the differences between their lifestyles and also how their kids were.

This is supposed to be comedy but I feel it is in bad taste. Insensitive to wealthy people.
If the title was the opposite- private forum for the super poor- no one would be laughing.
Wealthy and poor are the same human being and deserve the same sensitivity. Only on the outside they look different.

I honestly am not jealous of the super wealthy. They have Some unique problems that I’m happy I don’t deal with.

I'm probably what some ppl would consider pretty well off perhaps, not sure, no-one to ask lol, but every fourth quarter I walk around w a pit in my stomach cuz that's when we earn most of our income but at the same time stand to lose alot of it if it doesn't work out, and there are always scary issues, hence the pit in my stomach...and sometimes I wonder if it's worth all the stress?! Can anyone give me some perspective? I know I need to work on my emuna and daven!! But I wonder if any1 has any insights into this situation. Sorry so off topic from original thread, u see? wealthy ppl also have real fears and issues!

Soooo I'm not wealthy or even middle class ... But here ist experience with the wealthy people I DO know
I just bought my kallah student a shaitel and a dining table set. I hope it helps her enjoy starting her new home.
I just wrote a 2600 dollar check for this couples fifth son bris. It's so much fun to give gifts to struggling families.
I just chartered a plane and took my extended family on a dream vacation to Israel in honor of our sons bar mitzvah. He didn't get a party with his classmates but he learned the value of family and giving.
I built myself a 2 m dollar house and decided to give it to my little brother instead.
Some people have money and know exactly what to do with it. And I pray that HKBH sends them more. And helps me become a kli for that kind of bracha also!

Really now.
It’s like saying very skinny people should be pitied just the same as very fat people.
(People do say that)
Please don’t compare the challenges. There’s little pain greater than Poor people stigma And shame and not being able to clothe and feed your family no matter how hard you work.

I agree. Not funny at all.
(I'm actually low income...)

Oh! I just bought 1000 pairs of tfillin and went to eretz yisrael and made a massive seudah for 1000 boys whose parents couldnt afford tfillin. That was one of the best trips ever.
I just gifted a new mom with a housekeeper 9-5 everyday for her first month postpartum.

I don't think the thread itself is in poor taste, if we stick to laughing at #firstworldproblems that are not exactly tragic (or even realistic).
No, wealth cannot solve all problems but I do agree that it can make many many problems a lot easier to deal with. Sometimes having the ability to pay for therapy, or having the spare time and money to do good deeds for a zechus provides a small level of comfort that poor people can't afford.
