Rich people drinking out of mason jars isn't cultural appropriation of poor class! IDK about your family, but my family is wealthier because we have a long habit of being frugal. There's no need to buy something new if you can use goo-be-gone on the leftover salsa jars. Fuck!

It's an absurd statement: "My family is wealthier because we have a habit of being frugal". How do you know poor people aren't frugal, let alone that they are _historically_ not frugal?

Right, I meant it as clarification for how my family got wealth, not as a reason why poor families are poor. "Civilian's family became wealthy because we had good jobs and were frugal with our money. As oppose to other families, who started a massively successful business."
