I mean, nobody’s making you behave like a rich person. Grab a modest house in suburbia, send your kids to public school, and maybe take a few extra vacations a year to nice places but don’t talk about it. Guess what? Now you fit in with the rest of us.

But that’s not what this is about, and they certainly have the option to not be perceived as rich. The rich want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to have all the wealth yet be treated like normal people when it suits them while also being treated like they’re rich the rest of the time.
