The Woes of the Upper Middle Class

I have a friend who, along with his brother, are trust fund babies. One day my friend's brother came to him and suggested that they invest in a moderately risky--but highly rewarding, if successful--new venture. My friend thought about long and hard, but finally turned his brother down. When I asked him why, he said, "I can't afford to lose," he said, shaking his head forlornly. "I just have enough now to pretend I have more."
