Recently, @SsssamanthaaMUA asked folks on Twitter what they considered the pinnacle of wealth as a child and some of the responses might really resonate with you!
what was the pinnacle of wealth to you as a child?
1. Imagine not having to refill ice trays all the time.
2. Olive Garden and Red Lobster definitely seemed like five star restaurants.
@lustrelux @SsssamanthaaMUA Families who ate at restaurants! I had never even been to an Olive Garden until I was an adult. Also families that had cable tv.
3. Stairs in your home = commas in your bank account balance.
@SsssamanthaaMUA Also, people who lived in 2-story houses. The RICHEST
4. Toasted Pastries lacked the quality (and the frosting) of a real Pop-Tart.
@SsssamanthaaMUA A pantry full of gushers, fruit by the foot, and only name brand snacks/cereals
5. Bonus refrigerator? Y'rich.
@SsssamanthaaMUA having an extra fridge in the garage just for drinks
6. Two consoles? Y'wealthy.
@SsssamanthaaMUA an N64 AND a sega
7. That beautiful-ass swirly ice cream cake was definitely a sign of having monies.
8. Grocery delivery is still luxury to this day.
@SsssamanthaaMUA People who got food from the “schwans man”
9. Or the box of 64 with the sharpener!
10. Something about these.
@SsssamanthaaMUA These ligh switches....... lmao
11. It was basically like having a chauffeur.
@SsssamanthaaMUA people who’s parents drove them to school instead of taking the bus or walking
12. Road tripping to a vacation was one thing, but...
@SsssamanthaaMUA Families that went on family vacations... on a plane especially
13. Tampico was the solid, cheap version.
14. When you've only experienced off-brand bagged cereal, seeing those mini boxes is really something.
15. Cameras weren't cheap/all over the place back in the day, so for some of us, childhood footage is RARE.
16. Once in a while? Sure, but every single day?!
17. And finally, I'm not quite sure how, but there was a very wealthy vibe around watching Disney Channel.
