54. Being well off is never having to consider the price of anything you buy at the grocery store

I am always amazed how people will be so critical of what people on food stamps buy while asserting that they are dumb and/or lazy to need them in the first. People on food stamps and others with limited budgets have to work hard to decide what they can afford to buy and what they can't. They have to check the sales and coupons. There might be a non cheap item that they like that they can only buy when its on sale. If they go really cheap everything else, they might be able to buy one higher priced item that they like.
People that are well off buy whatever they feel like at the grocery store whenever they want. It is something that they don''t have to worry about. Of course, people like the Romney's can buy pretty much anything that they want, which makes things even easier.
