Why is it that the more money someone has, the more they seem to complain of being poor? The other day as I was sitting in someone’s garden with swimming pool, they were bemoaning that they couldn’t afford that second holiday of the year. An acquaintance recently described her new boyfriend as a ‘poor Etonian’. And in my experience there seems to be some correlation between salary earned and complaining about the cost of local council tax. Has the arrival of your oligarchs and onshore exiles in London ruffled the status of the existing rich? Or is it just cos once you have some you always want more?
