'Money can't buy happiness.' —A rich person, obviously
"One time a client’s kid gave a coworker an iPad. Brand new, unopened box. My coworker was a little uncomfortable receiving such an expensive gift from a kid, but the kid just said, 'Don’t worry, I just grabbed it out of the gift closet.' We were confused, so we asked him what a gift closet was. Apparently, their family kept a whole closet loaded with stuff like this — Apple Watches, cameras, iPads, etc.
He realized he was probably going to miss the flight, so he flew his own jet to New York , then 'grabbed a flight on the Concord' and beat me to London. And he genuinely said this like he'd just grabbed Starbucks on the way home. He was incredibly down-to-earth and very humble, but his assessment of everyday life related to travel was so far out of my realm of reality.
"In an effort to find common ground with her, I told her something like, 'Oh I get you. I'm having plumbing problems and need to replace all of my exterior plumbing lines. Thank goodness for my tax return or I wouldn't be able to cover it.' Her response:""I once worked for a family of four in their home — nannying, laundry, cleaning, chauffeuring the kids, helping with dinner and errands, etc.
"So I let her know. She said, 'If we give you around half will that be okay?' I responded, 'We can talk about it another time,' since the dad wasn't home and he was a little more in touch with financial realities than she was. She then went on to tell me a story about a time when they sold property and didn't know the nuances of property taxes and whatnot, and they unexpectedly ended up owing the IRS around $50,000.
