My friends expect me to pay for things for them because I'm wealthy. Am I wrong to think they should just work harder? (www.businessinsider.com)

When I was a young kid, one of the few things my mother was very strict about was her rule that I must never ask people outside the family for presents. Acting in a way that made it clear I wanted a present without explicitly saying so was forbidden too.

She was stricter about this than about "don't bring snakes in the house" and she was not a fan of snakes.

... How often did the snake thing come up?

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Only once that she knew about.
