I wanted to reply to this post because I would like to clear the air. Full disclosure, I admit that I guess I would fit anyone’s definition of well off. I grew up on the UES of New York City with nannies, chefs, cleaners and all that hoopla. My dad runs a very successful hedge fund and my mom is a mover and shaker on the charity circuit. Our family did the New Years at our place in Aspen, Spring Break at our place in St. Barths and summer at our house on Mt. Desert Island, Maine. When I started SMU, I wanted a fancy car to take with me and I wanted my parents to buy me a townhouse to live in. Instead, I got a Prius anplace in the dorms. In other words, there can be big money at SMU. The poor guy who almost got taken out by the blonde in the BMW got up and personal with it. But that’s the new money you’re looking at. The people with real money don’t spend their time trying to impress people at college! The only people who know about my home life are a few of my sisters and my freshman year roomies snd they Gould give two s—-s!

I'm a sophomore in one of the "big three" sororitys and I'm very blessed to have grown up with the lifestyle I did. Me and my siblings attended private schools from K-12 and had private tutors at our fingertips. Summers were always extremely fun and care free. My family has a vacation home in Nantucket where we spent most summers with our friends and close relatives. I've been to just about every hot European destination you can think of and I go back to many of them on a regular basis. I was never expected to work once I got older. I did have an internship at a law firm during the summer after my junior year but I was never forced to do it. Working at a grocery store or a restaurant never even crossed my mind as a possibility. Since coming to SMU, I have met many people who can relate to my experiences and many who were less fortunate. I was raised to be grateful for everything that I have and to stay humble.

Don’t look at the girls with LV bags and think they’re all that. Everybody and their mother carries a Neverfull tote these days. Real money carries Bottega Veneta, which is harder to spot because it doesn’t have tacky monograms all over it. I swear, I’m embarrassed for those folks.
