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.

I'm in the financial planning field, by the way, and none of our clients are like this. They are looking into how they can cut back in order to be able to save more to compensate for lack of market returns so that they can still hopefully retire on schedule, but they're not jerks like this. I have heard quite a few of them voice their gratitude for still having work and savings and many are still making charitable donations even though it is making their lifestyle more financially difficult. So don't despair that all rich people are nasty greedy jerks. A few are ok at least. ;/
