I work with some people who are much poorer than me and some much richer than me, and it does cause some social confusion about what is venting, what is a request for assistance, etc.

Occasionally I hear the much richer people complain about how expensive something they want is, as though they think it's unfair that they can't afford it. Tough to keep myself from resenting their sense of entitlement.

I try to remember not to make the same mistake.
