This Woman's Rich Boyfriend Said She Was “Lucky” He Loved Her, And The Internet Has THOUGHTS

“You guys just have completely different experiences with money, and you’re not wrong for your experience but he’s also not wrong for having his experience. If his help comes from a loving place, then your response (your very valid response!) needs to also come from a loving place and not a place of insecurity or shame.”

“Also, the correct response to ‘you’re lucky I’m paying most of the rent’ is ‘you’re lucky you have the money to do that. Most of our access to money is pure luck and circumstance.’ As a fellow poor, I love when rich people act like other people are lucky to know them and their money, and they never think about how incredibly lucky they were to just be born at the right place, LOL. I also have the feeling that, even though he’s paying twice as much as you are, it’s still a significantly lower percentage of his income than your rent is to you.”
