Appearances can be deceiving. I lived in a gorgeous 10+ room colonial and had a summer house growing up. But that's because we were housed by the prep school my parents worked at.
I'm assuming owning both residences when I say "maintaining".
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I assume wealth when I consider "rich." Assets as well as income.

Like java, I would only use rich for people who don't have to work. Everyone else is upper-middle.

"HAVE to work" is really subjective.

Sure, I'm just saying that, when I'm nominated to the SC, you'll all hear about my priviliged New England elitist francophile background.
That's why it's hard to make judgements about what other people "have".

"HAVE to work" is really subjective.
Have to work in order to maintain your current standard of living, then. "Money works for you" is a way of saying you can live off of dividends and interest. You can not have to work for the rest of your life and you'll be fine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, that's kind of a fun game to play. I'd be an over-privileged child of stuffy academics, raised in a city synonymous with overindulgence.

Well, the French thing alone would kill my chances I think, especially given the fact that my grandfather was a communist. A French communist, but still.

I'll play!
'cept that born into a commune, daughter of a sometime stripper would probably keep me from the bench, regardless. 'Cause our country is judgy like that.

We're talking cold hard cash here, woman! Don't get into societal perceptions or we're completely fucked.
