*874 - riches

I wonder what it would be like to be $$$$ rich. Not celebrity rich, but "normal" rich kid type rich.

Have recently chanced upon some friends of friends' blogs (in the Rafflesian world, I think the "two degrees of separation" concept holds better) and, wow, what a lifestyle of decadence! I guess it would be nice ...

... to float into a bar without having to howl over $21 bar cover charges a la last night (haha! we almost turned away, but now I think it was worth it!)
... to be able to take two dance classes at Jitterbugs in a row without jaws dropping at the $40 that just vanished (seriously)
... to have lots and lots of gorrrrgeous clothing and to join the ranks of the designer bag wielding folk
... to eat at fancy restaurants that I always wish I could try, yummm
... to have half a dozen maids at your beck and call (ok, not sure if I truly believe in this one)
... to have a car of my own--how convenient that would be!! But soon, hooray to $6000 cars in the US :D
... to be pretty?? Have you noticed that the rich kids are pretty and hot?? I don't really understand how this one works.

Well, to be fair, I'm perfectly happy where I am right now because my family has been blessed in many many ways and my complaints are not truly in earnest at all! Just pondering upon the fact that money dictates your lifestyle and does have the ability to bring (amongst other negative things), to some extent, happiness.
