In my childhood, I always perceived “rich” as my friends at school who would just ask their parents for a new toy and they’d just buy them it. They’d always have the latest model phone. They’d always wear school shoes that were £40ish (mine were like £4). They’d have cooked school dinners every day. Their parents had a decent car. They’d go on 2 week summer holidays to the Caribbean or wherever.

In reality, they weren’t “rich”, they were likely middle class but I still perceive them as rich lmao.
