Holidays. I'm 50 and I have absolutely come to hate them. Can't really afford to celebrate or get gifts, so I resent them for existing and I hate hearing about others' pleasant experiences with them.

    Last year when I was hitting the food bank so I could survive, an obscenely rich friend sent me a text message "I'm heading for a 2 week cruise this Christmas, where are you going?"

    “I’m heading for a 2 week cruise this Christmas, where are you going?”

    going to your house to eat the food sitting around while you're at sea.

    She buys a full $32 cut fruit platter, eats one chunk of pineapple, puts platter in fridge until it rots into slime and then has her maid discard it. She'll buy a 12 pack of bagels, eat a quarter of ONE bagel and throw the other 11 straight into the trash.

    Really.

    No. Just ludicrously rich as her father started a nation-wide retail giant. She's never worked a day in her life, upwards of $60M in personal assets. Utterly delusional as it relates to how the world works and how others live. Buying an entire X, having one bite and throwing the rest out is her default.
