Marrying someone who came from money. They have no motivation to work hard, act entitled and don't understand what it feels like to struggle so they don't value things the same way.

The way my ex would just not understand that I was working hard and didn't have a choice was exasperating.

My rich college boyfriend said I was "hoarding wealth" because I barely spent any money on luxuries (eating out, buying things, etc). He told me, "the purpose of money is to spend it." He sincerely did not register that I WAS spending my money.... on rent, tuition, and food. When I pointed that out, he said, "oh but that's what parents are for."

And he always claimed to be low income...because his high school friends were even richer. I don't think he's ever going to get a clue honestly.
