    I married a trust fund kid and then got saddled with his credit card debt after he dumped me.

    Got to go on nice expensive vacations, ate ridiculous food on the top of Harrod’s in London. Now I’m making pillows out of old t-shirts because I don’t have a mattress.

    The big lesson I learned is that it actually does not matter how smart, talented or hard working you are. It’s about having rich family.

        You have it backwards. They’re using old t-shirts to sew pillows. The same way some people use old shirts for quilting, or for window cleaning rags.

          Damn, then it clearly shows this guy privilege, poverty related.

          No poor person is thinking about comfort when sleeping, but being dressed and covered from the elements? Yeah that ranks higher

        I feel like Salvation Army pillows are going to be gross and hard to clean - might pick up bed bugs. Thrifting the stuffing/pillow forms and sewing them into t-shirts makes something quick and comfortable.
