Housing:

Say you have 2 homes (both are villas) (one is a normal home and the other is a vacation home (like a beach home probably)

Status/power: (tho within your own country so for my case that would be egypt)

Major general plus a tin factory business that even exports abroad from egypt if I'm not wrong

And say your distant family owns a resort too

So is that rich/upper class within egypt?

Also being able to go to 5 star resorts in egypt

(would this be rich)?

I've seen enough Christmas specials to know that richness from spending times with your loved ones, cultivating relationships with your community, and enjoying what you have.

If you somehow don't feel rich with your fabulously wealthy lifestyle, then I'm afraid you never will. In fact, you probably have too much stuff to feel rich, because richness doesn't come from the pursuit of things.

Don't despair friend, I have a solution. Send me the deeds to your houses and factory and I'll make sure someone who can appreciate them will enjoy them. Working through an agent like me will be far less scary than being visited by three ghosts tonight.

Bourgeoisie I guess. And yeah, of course that's rich. That would be rich anywhere in the world.

Really buddy? You've had plenty of responses to your previous posts about your rich life. You are rich. Very rich. It's past time to accept that and move on with your shit.

If you actually feel any guilt or uncomfortableness about it, instead of posting stupid bait, go do something with your privilege to help those who don't have it.

yeah true well tbh you have a point so ye

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago

Only a rich person would list all those things and actually question if they're rich or not. Everyone else instantly recognizes it. You live in luxury most of the world could only dream of and you don't even appreciate it.
