I was given the task of babysitting 6 plants this weekend. This means that I get to have TV for the weekend. This means that I have sat on my ass this entire afternoon watching MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEEN, quite possibly the most vapid television show known to man.
Let me give you a brief synopsis: wealthy 15 year-olds (i’m talking grossly wealthy) have party planners and personal dressers put together their ultimate Sweet 16 birthday party. The last one that I watched cost $140,000. That’s $20,000 more than my college education. Which I’ll be paying off FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. Often they scream at the parents when they can’t fit into a Betsey Johnson dress, bitch because the air conditioning is broken in the limo, and pout because no one is paying attention to them. It’s like watching a car accident.
Being rich must be AWESOME. Here’s hoping I can afford my rent this month.
Why am I still watching it, you ask? BECAUSE I DON’T GOT NO CABLE AND IT’S EITHER THIS OR ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE. That’s why.
UPDATE!!
Some triplets had Sugarcult play at their Vegas themed birthday. For $40,000.

I have lived within several families of different financial status. None wealthy enough to spend $140,000 on a party. I was at work saveing for a car on my 16th. But what I have noticed is that money heavly dilutes any emotional blood bonds. Challenges are hard but they add soo much to your quality of life and character.
I love the analogy: “It’s like watching a car accident.”
Isn’t it crazy that there are many people with so much money that an amount they wouldn’t even miss would solve your financial problems for the rest of your natural life? And yet this is what they do with it. Sheer madness.
