I am growing up in a middle class family in America’s richest county, Loudoun County, Virginia. I would like to start this off that my family is still well off. But everyone else was spoiled out of their minds. A lot of my friends are getting Surron E-Bikes, which I couldn’t fathom paying that much for a bike. Everyone I know has Nike socks, while I am just fine with my Hanes socks. I umpired Little League Baseball games to buy myself Jordan 1 Mids. I also play baseball, and my teammates think they are normal with their $350 bats and $100 sunglasses, while my $20 sunglasses look the exact same. My friends’ parents are glorified yes-men giving their kids whatever they want, while my parents understand what is reasonable for me to want and what isn’t reasonable for me to want. I just wonder what if I lived in neighboring Clarke County or nearby Jefferson County, WV? I want to know what you guys think about how this county got this way, how it can be fixed. And also why do people get so entitled and spoiled?
