re: If your child self was friends with your kids would you think they were rich?

My child self would probably think we’re loaded. I’d also honestly probably not want my child to play with my childhood self.
We were borderline neglected by today’s standards and pretty much feral. Riding our bikes to the beach and playing in the woods outside from sunup to sundown at like 8 years old. Parents had zero clue where we were most of the time. My kid wouldn’t know wtf to do lmao.

I would be blown away by their tiny battery-powered computer with no external keyboard that doubles as a phone and has this thing called “internet”.

There was a guy on a show called Quantum Leap that had a device like this, and I used to think how cool it would be to have something like that.

Yes, but I didn't have very high standards as a child

Would you like them?

Probably? My kid is super sweet.

Yes. I grew up poor my kids aren’t.

Hell, the first flight I ever took was to basic training. My kids have all been out of the country.

I didn’t get to do that until my first deployment.

I would def think my kids were rich. Just knowing they were going tk private schools would be enough to make me think that, but they are living a great life. Much better than I did.
Their friends are the real rich ones though for the most part.
