Hit the nail on the head, she is materialistic. It's that simple.
And they come across as snobs.
I lived in an area where I was surrounded by people like her family.
My Mum and Dad, never had much but as kids we were never wanting.
My parents worked extremely hard for what they had but we lived next door to people in huge house with big cars. They wouldn't give you a wave or the time of the day but every Sunday they'd be at Mass, carryingvlike the good caring Catholics but really they looked down on hard working people that earned an honest crust. The truth was most of them were shady and up to know good. You'd hear rumours about so and so. I remember one neighbour owed millions but managed to hang on to his million euro house
. That kind, maybe I'm wrong but I get the same vibes from retro and her family.
Carry on like they're above others when we all know they're no better than you or I.
I probably have a chip on my shoulder because I hated growing around that sort but it grates me, that Celtic tiger mentality.
Retro is all about the superficial and none of that crap makes you any better than anyone else. Rant over
