The pressures of performing to/for rich parents would surprise most people.

No. For the simple fact that neither of my parents was married to my ex-wife.

Hehe, no respect! I don't really speak from experience here, but I have watched my friends deal with said pressure.

Hmmm, not sure. I can think of reasons to say yes and reasons to say no. Even when I compare lifestyles, there are ways in which I live more lavishly and ways in which I live less. Overall, the answer is probably yes.

Now, if you compare me now to them now, they are comparatively rolling in it.
