Wealth & Money Quote by Christine McVie

There is a sly humility in the way Christine McVie frames wealth as a learned habit rather than a trophy. “I wasn’t raised with money” isn’t a rags-to-riches flex; it’s a quiet declaration of distance from entitlement. Then she pivots: “so I had to get used to having it.” The verb choice matters. Not “earned,” not “deserved,” not even “got it” in a triumphant sense. “Got used to” makes money sound like weather, or a new climate you acclimate to - something that can be pleasant and still disorienting.

The second line lands like a dry punchline: “I think I’ve adjusted to it pretty well.” That “I think” is doing heavy lifting, both softening the boast and hinting at self-awareness about how ridiculous it can sound to grade yourself on adapting to luxury. It’s a musician’s version of British understatement: yes, success happened, yes, it altered her life, and no, she’s not going to romanticize the struggle or pretend she didn’t enjoy the upgrade.

The context is Fleetwood Mac-level fame: enormous sales, enormous tours, and the strange economics of being both an artist and an enterprise. McVie’s persona was often the band’s steady center - not the tabloid cyclone, not the mythmaking auteur. This line fits that image: practical, unsentimental, faintly amused by the spectacle of celebrity, and clear-eyed about money as a consequence of the work, not its moral proof.
