McSweeney’s posted this article a few days ago called “Kinds of Rich I’d Like My Future Family to Be” and it was real good. So good I got inspired and thought I would tell y’all the kinds of rich I’d like to be.
Here it is:
I want to be “we’re taking a moderately priced vacation once a year” rich
I want to be “we have matching glass Tupperware” rich
I want to be “let me fill up my gas real quick” rich
I want to be “I get my hair done at this one salon by this one hairstylist” rich
I want to be “buy a latté every morning” rich
I want to be “my mid-sized car is about five years old” rich
I want to be “I bought this new book, unused, hardcover” rich
I want to be “Amazon prime” rich
I want to be “I buy pods of Tide detergent” rich
I want to be “I’m thinking about going back to school for an MA in Art History” rich
I want to be “My Roth IRA is small but exists” rich
I want to be “We got this trip with frequent flyer miles” rich
I want to be “Make sure to unlock the backyard gate for the guy to come mow our yard” rich
I want to be “We’re celebrating paying off our mortgage!” rich
I want to be “I don’t shop at TJ Maxx” rich
I want to be “organic, cage-free eggs” rich
I want to be “check the leak in the basement” rich
I want to be “city and county property tax” rich
I want to be “I need to pick my dress up from the dry cleaners” rich
I want to be “My bills are on auto-draft” rich
I want to be “I’m staying home to nurse the baby for a year” rich
I want to be “I made my brother’s bail” rich
But most of all, I want to be “I’ll have a fourth side dish with my meat n’ three, please” rich
