    The only rich person I knew was, ironically, one of my two best friends who is the daughter of an extremely wealthy Canadian. She was wonderful even if a little naive and was always surprised enough at how differently people live that she would try to fix it. Probably an exaggeration, but if you did so much as tell her that a family she was staying at was saving money and using sporks instead of spoons and forks, she’s the kind of person who you’d expect to say “you can’t pay for silverware? In Upstate New York? That’s like Africa tier lifestyle. I’ll give you a thousand dollars to fix the issue, nobody should be living like this.” So she was kind of like a reverse form of uptight. She was also a devout Baha’i with Libertarian leanings, possibly with her father’s Masonic activities rubbing off on her, and aside from being made of money, was the most street-smart of us.
