The spending has become grotesque around here. Another old friend came over to visit and told me that her kids hardly have playdates anymore (they live in Rancho Santa Fe in and old family home) because classmates always come over and start making rude comments about their lack of pool, old house, old cars, etc. Their kids get invited to b-day parties and it is always limo, limo, limo… we both grew up here and can see how it has all changed. It has been upsetting for her as a mother, to say the least.
