FAQ: Do Rich People Have Friends?

_________________________________________

Well, sure they do!

But I understand the question.

Does the Missus grab a quick lunch or hang out at the mall with her girlfriends?

No!

Does some guy with a bucket of chicken wings and a six-pack stop by to watch a game with the Mister?

No!

Rich people, especially those with a high profile, generally have carefully controlled schedules -- and movements.  And they usually stay within their established enclaves, of other likewise rich.

Instead of hanging out at the mall, the Missus will have a planned shopping spree with her closest friends in New York or London -- with their personal shoppers alerted in each store -- and with reservations at a posh restaurant for lunch!

And the Mister might host a game party -- complete with multiple screens, fully catered of course, and a bartender on hand!

Nice!

But decidedly lacking in spontaneity!  Wouldn't you say?  

Ha!

Such is their world of luxury, comfort -- and personal security. 

A wild and crazy tailgate party is simply out of the question!  (If they even know what that is!)


Thanks for stopping by!

Good night,
Andrew

    Ha! This is very true Andrew. But, I have to say that Mister Lucas does have lots of friends and they do have some wild parties here when Mr. and Mrs. are out of town. The difference between these parties and those I had growing up, however, is I didn't have a valet to fetch me a beer! Ha!

    Getting my passport ready! I was informed today that Mister Lucas will be vacationing in Italy and Spain this summer and I will be going along. Any advice on what to expect. I have never served my employer on a foreign vacation before.

    1. No advice whatsoever -- except to have fun. And you do have the right to time off, no matter where you are.

  3. So Andrew, I have a question. Do the rich ever go to Disney World? A friend and I were talking about your blog and I mentioned this post, so I got to be the one asking the question.
    Thanks
    Justin.

    1. Hi, Justin! Thanks for this great comment.

      You've asked a good question, precisely in line with the thesis of what I was writing about.

      But I think others will be interested in your question, so I'm going to answer you in a separate post altogether. I'll call it:

      FAQ: "Do Rich People Go to Disney World?"

      And since this is so much fun and easy to write, I can probably write it, get it edited and post it this very evening. (Although I may be up 'til 3:00am! Ha!

      Thanks, and stay in touch.

      Andrew
