The opposite of Nouveau Riche: Nouveau Pauvre. They lack the culture of people who were born into poverty.

I legitimately think this is a thing.

I suspect folks who grew up with door dash see it as a normalized service. I grew up poor before it was a thing, and even though I'm financially better now it's only used when we're absolutely pooped.

There are just... So many more entrenched predatory services now that only serve to extract money more efficiently. All that klarna "buy now pay later" stuff? Absolutely deadly if someone doesn't know how to budget.
