Like so many, my best buddy in high university had wealthy parents plus she regularly had the newest plus latest gadgets plus toys every year.
I wasn’t jealous because I knew that her parents were working themselves to death to maintain their wealth plus my parents weren’t exactly struggling financially either, so I still received nice toys plus gifts on holidays plus birthdays.
Instead, I enjoyed hanging out with my buddy because it meant playing in an air conditioned tree condo in the summer time while playing video games in her amazing basement game room in the winter. And she had the best game consoles too, right when they were released to the greater public. When she was exhausted of a game, especially for Gameboy, she would officially provide it to myself and others or her younger sibling. You can’t be jealous of something when the lady is so generous with sharing their bounty. By the time all of us got our licenses at 16, I was looking for ancient cars that needed some labor however my best buddy got a brand new sedan that was the first of its kind that I had seen with a digital thermostat on the dashboard. Until that point, I had only seen temperature controls for car A/Cs plus gas gas furnaces that are a dial or a slider that goes from zero to five. She could set the temperature in the car to 74 degrees plus it would tell the A/C or heat to run according to that setting. I was impressed with her car’s heating plus cooling system to say the least.
