This is, quite possibly, the most disgusting thing I've read all year

"People who don't have money don't understand the stress," said Alan Dlugash, a partner at accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron LLP in New York who specializes in financial planning for the wealthy. "Could you imagine what it's like to say I got three kids in private school, I have to think about pulling them out? How do you do that?"

Don't you just weep for these poor rich people?

For all the talk about "class warfare", sometimes I think we don't see nearly enough of it.

It's enough to make you really understand the appeal of communist revolutions.

Funnily enough, the part that bugs me the most is the guy searching for deals to buy his box cereal on sale or with coupons instead of not checking prices.

We never had much cereal as kids because at the prices they charge and with the low nutritional value it really is a luxury food, though it wasn't told to us that way, I don't think. And the nieces only get cereal on special occasions. We're not stinting on the food budget, not hardly, but that line about the cereal just bugged me.

"Poor us, we have to live like normal people."

(How is this a problem?)

When I was poorer, I think box cereal was my only source of certain vitamins. And I still only bought it on sale.
