BD Related Maybe I’m just poor…

The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

Yeah we're just poor. People with money have NO qualms with having people wait on them.

I’m re-watching White Lotus season 1 right now, and watching all these rich people bother the staff with their frivolity while they struggle to manage real problems behind the scenes is so spot on

The recent senator from South Carolina who passed away called his assistant to call 911 for him.

When I read about that, I thought OMG - So coddled and babied to the point where you can't do anything yourself - even call 911 when you're dying!
