    Default Rich Kids of Instagram

    http://richkidsofinstagram.tumblr.com/

    I love/hate this Tumblr. I thought of posting it here because it's good 'richspo' for dancers. Some of the stuff is really cool. And I think, well, they/their parents worked hard and they're simply enjoying the money. Good on them.

    Then some it makes them look douchey and lame. I mean if I were that rich, I wouldn't buy a whole collection of brown Louis Vuitton monogrammed luggage. Never got that obsession. There are so many more beautiful and interesting bags out there. Or you could source cool vintage stuff. Also, sometimes their lives look kinda boring - night after night posing in VIP with magnums of Veuve. Yawn.

    Majority of the "rich" people I've come across don't buy dumb flashy shit. A few qualities pieces or a quality car maybe, but that's about as far as it goes.

    "people with enormous amounts of debt that are not actually rich" instagram

    really wealthy people don't show it off because they don't need to and have nothing to prove

    how do you think they got rich? by NOT blowing it all

    I would definitely buy some luxury stuff that I don't really need. I don't need a Burberry trench, but it would bring me a lot of joy as I've lusted after them for years. But not a 12-piece set of LV.

    Yeah, that's the difference between old money and new money, so maybe some of them have money, but are not "rich, rich".

    lol I've wanted one of those for years but haven't splurged on it because I always find something better I like for 1/10th the cost. BUT, I see nothing wrong with investing in a couple quality pieces like that per year. Because they basically last forever if they're cared for.

    It's just materialistic, if you stripped them down they'd look just like anyone else, I just see people surrounded by stuff and it's unoriginal stuff at that. To me they all look douche baggy because the only difference between them and anyone else is because they have more of something and the fact that money can buy you any and everything just annoys me, especially children who didn't have to lift a finger to get it. Now, this isn't coming from a jealous perspective at all. The fact that they are on IG "bragging" just tells me they expect some sort of reaction be it jealously or acceptance. I also agree, I'm not a flasher but I do plan on being wealthy. Of course wealth to me is actually hanging onto money, investing it, and giving some of it away. Of course spending it is fun too but what's wealth when you constantly subtract and don't gain? Their items... so what? Can't take it with you when you die. I want to see them use that money and make a difference.

    You'd think someone who grew up rich would be used to it by now and not posting a bunch of pics like it's a brand new lifestyle to them. And to the kids posting pics of expensive alcohol and designer bags. Sure, it's expensive, but you don't have to be rich to own that kind of stuff.

    The pictures of Bentleys are a different story though. If I owned a Bentley I'd let that be known. Although if I ever own a Bentley, it'll MINE, not mommy and daddy's. At the end of the day I'm glad I wasn't one of these kids, glad I had to earn my own nice things.
