'I'm currently 27 and earn over $170k a year': Old money parents want daughter-in-law to give up her high paying job to be a stay-at-home mom, freaks out when she asks for money in a trust

Everyone has different relationships with money. Some of us grew up with a lot of it, and some of us didn't. The way you grew up can affect the way you see money for the rest of your life. It not only changes the way you act but also the way you think. If you grew up with money, you might have a different relationship to working than the rest of us.

Maybe you see it as an extraneous activity, not something that you need to do to survive. This might shape your romantic relationship, your friendships, and your personal life. Your priorities are different, and you have different ways of moving through the world. This can get difficult when you're in a relationship with someone who has a different connection to their finances. When you get married, the dream is to build your life together.

Those are the questions that came up in the story about somebody who married into an old-money family, and quickly learned what that meant.
