Am I rich? My parents hide that from me?
Don't want to act rich and spoiled and brag, I just want to ask a simple question. My parents won't tell me their salaries and like wether or not were rich or middle class or whatever. The thing also with my parents is that they really don't want us to act spoiled and stuff, so they don't necessarily get all the things that we could have cuz of that. My mom works and my dad is retired. My mom is a Stanford University grad and my dad is a MIT grad. My house cost 3 million dollars(i know for a fact) and like not to act spoiled or anything but I basically get whatever I want when its something useful. For example, I can get cloths whenever I want but my parents won't buy me the newest Iphone every time it comes out cuz like i obviously don't need that. I also used to like in NYC in an apartment where I went to a bilingual private school but I recently moved to Westchester, NY where I got a house. Again, I don't want to brag to anyone because I know i'm very very very very very lucky for what I have but could you estimate how much my mom makes? My dad also invests in our money, he said that like half of the money we have is from him investing. And I think my mom is some kind of portfolio manager for Columbia Threadledee Investments. Again please don't call me rich and spoiled and say i'm mean for saying this, I just want to ask. And sorry for writing so much.
Added (1). Update: I don't understand why every one is being mean except on. All I asked was if I was rich and I think I made it clear that I wasn't trying to be rude, mean, etc… I'm sorry if this bothered you but that was not my intentions, I just wanted an answer to the question I asked.
And to all those saying I'm stupid and what not, this wasn't supposed to sound good cuz I wrote it in under 5 mins. None of you know my school life, grades, and what school I go to.
Hm
Guys i don't't want to brag and people don't have to be mean, i;m just asking. And BTW I live in the New York area so i'm pretty sure that you need more money to be rich and stuff
You should ask your parents to get you an English tutor.
Are YOU rich? No. Maybe your parents are but it isn't really any of your business. And, obviously, your parents have more brains than you do. Your grammar and spelling isn't worthy of them. Surely, they raised you better than that.
Perhaps your parents live under their income. If so then you have smart parents. Buy yourself a book by Dave Ramsey or some other financial adviser - you might learn something important.
No, you are not rich or even middle class; but your parents sound financially comfortable. Your mom makes $480,000 per year, plus bonuses for stiffing the poor working class clients.
Am I rich? Given you are a teen with no income, its extremely unlikely. You might allegedly come from a wealthy background or have parents that have good incomes, but that does NOT make YOU personally rich
Unless you have money or assets of your own you are poor, your parents might have money and assets but that makes them rich, not you
You're not rich; your parents may be, but we don't know for sure. They are right, you don't need to know right now. How much they make and how much money they have is really none of your business, only theirs.
Evidently your family is financially comfortable, but to what degree, we have no idea. And I repeat: YOU are not rich. It's not your money.
They should have bought you a better education.
PS: You did not "get a house". Your parents did. It doesn't belong to you.
- Why do rich people hate it when you call them rich? I remember this one girl I new from school had a brand new iphone with an expensive case covered in jewelry. Someone said "Wow, you're really rich!" and she was offended.
- What should I do should I get a new phone or not be embarrassed? And how do I convince my parents to get me a new phone? I have an iPhone 4 and it is 2017. The iPhone 7 already came out and I jane a 4. I feel really embarrassed when I take out my phone that I don't take it out because my friends have the iPhone 6 and 7.
- Should I hide my broken phone from my parents? I dropped my iPhone and the screen and camera r completely shattered. I've just had my screen fixed about a month ago and I think my parents will kill me if I tell them. How long should I leave it till I tell them?
- I broke my phone and i don't want my parents to know? Long story short i broke my iphone 6 and i don't want my parents to know one of my friends says they have an extra iphone 6 in perfect condition my only problem is that i don't know how to get my phone number and my data plan onto it. My friend told me if i put my original sim card into the new phone it'll do the job but i'm not sure.
