So it’s your take that living in a basement apartment where you use a fold down ironing board for a kitchen table, is what wealthy people live like?

Young early college age kids whose parents are wealthy, don’t necessarily have access to great sums of money.

I read an interview of Ann about their college years.

They lived very well, and they had Mitt assets to cash in when they wanted more.

Sorry to pester, but I wanted to let you know what I was getting at about that old interview.

In the interview, which now has to be paid for to read, Ann was describing how difficult life was for them as students, but as a reader (I read it a few years ago), I was laughing at her, it was hilarious stuff, they were living well, and were celebrities and the golden couple.

Here is an example of how the public perceived the interview. By the way, after graduating from a life of private schools, Ann spent a freshman semester at the University of Grenoble in France.

"and her portrayal of the couple's student years as financially impoverished, while they lived off of sales of George Romney's stock and loans, made her seem privileged and naïve and brought a harsh public reaction.[31][32][15] Boston University political science professor later said, "She definitely hurt him in that race."
