Let the status stuff go if you can.
People sometimes mistake my family for being poor. Because we have one car and I walk the kids to and from school. Because we live in a small house. Because I buy as much second hand as I can.
It only bothers me when the occasional person offers to do something for us and it seems as though they believe they are performing an act of charity rather than simply something nice for a friend. I find that awkward as they might be upset if I accept and later they realise our financial situation.
It’s kind of fun to keep people guessing. For a while last year my husband and I were working 4 days between us which really miffed people because why weren’t we trying to work harder to afford the car and big house and overseas holidays?
There's nothing here!
