Having a pool... But after working on them during college, now I just know people that own them are idiots... Or maybe they're just rich and don't care about their money

Being able to afford Levi’s jeans, members only jacket and new canvas nikes. I was the poor kid in my neighborhood so everybody else seemed rich.
ETA: also, those that had a microwave or a VCR, phone in their room or a ceiling fan.

Whoever drove a Mercedes was automatically rich to me. Ironically I've owned a couple Mercedes as an adult and most definitely never been a rich man

As a kid, it was if they're mom stayed at home.
I can remember walking one of my buddies in 4th or 5th grade thru making Mac and cheese because his mom was on vacation and his dad was still at work.
It blew his mind that I didn't have a parent at home until almost 7pm everyday.

Having a 2 story house meant you were rich to me. Didn’t matter about the quality or size of that house, if it was 2 stories then I equated that to rich.

This was a big one for me too. I was ecstatic when we got one when we moved to our new house in 3rd grade.

Private boat dock on your house. They didn’t use the marina with rental slips

I remember when a He Man figure was $5 and I thought- “man, those kids that can get those are rich”

Dated a girl in college, her parents had 2 vacation homes, one in Tuscany, the other near Aspen. She got a new car each year. She majored in marketing and went to work for some clothing company in NYC.

We were the rich kids because our house cost $60k and the others in the subdivision were only $45k.
Then Lockeed moved a bunch more yankees down, and a new country club community was built and those houses started going for over $100k and all those kids became the rich kids.
