"Like their parents, they are focused and successful, on their way to the most prestigious universities on full academic scholarships... money is no problem because Everybody Else is LOADED."

Did you know?
Did you know?
You probably know the more common meaning of loaded = beladen.
But did you know that loaded also means very rich, even obscenely rich? The implication being that someone is loaded with lot's and lots of money.
This phrase is often used when the speaker wants to express some resentment about the wealth of an individual: "Let Bill pay for the meal, he's LOADED."
Naturally, I tried to trick you with the false definition "geladen" (angry) - :)
Synonyms: affluent, flush, moneyed, wealthy
-- By the way, loaded also means "drunken", but that's another story!
