A small town with a bunch of rich assholes. Kids get bmws and mercedes and their crash car. They always compare how much money they have and think wycoff kids are wannabes. Parents will spend more money on their childs bar mitzvah then most spend on their wedding. They always have to prove they are wealthier. Families have a pool that they don't maintain them selves, but hire a mexican to do the hard labor for them. Their pool house is bigger then most houses in the world. You hang out at uncle louis after school and flip water bottles on the sign. You belong to itc and don't even know what shadow lake is. You don't care how much money you spend at the snack bar at itc because you don't car. You havent been to lets yo in 3 years. You go on a vacation every break and fly first class to stay at a 5 star resort. You've been prunked. You don't go to the chinese place in town and you are pissed that the barber shop in town closed. You have a cleaning lady that you don't know her name and you have a nanny to watch your children. You always go out to eat dinner. You start dating in 4th grade. You parents dont care about your grades or future. You have a ski pass to campgaw. You also have a membership to itc and never go there since you went away for the summer. You skipped class in middle school to go to mr colons class. You secretly hid your phone and felt like a bad ass. You call the teachers by their first name. You watch porn at a young age. You think you are on top of the world
Those Franklin Lakes hoes are bragging about their money.
151 richest town in the US. In bergen county new jersey. Home to asshole rich kids, expensive cars and real designer bags. A place where one could count 10 or more mercedes/bmw's on the way to the supermarket. THE place to go for the best rolled dutches, hands down.
Being from franklin lakes, he could not chose between an M3 or an Escalade for his 17th birthday.
The rich family from franklin lakes had a hard time deciding if they wanted to buy property in the hamptons, nantucket, or a south beach penthouse.
Being rich aint easy.

Franklin Lakes' Girls' Snobbish attitude reflected in a pupil's choise of high school: Blue Collar Indian Hills versus White Collar Ramapo.
Oakland, Indian Hills "They'll beat me up for my Gucci handbag!" versus Franklin Lakes, Ramapo "BUT MOM! If I don't have the Gucci Handbag the girls will beat me up!

A town in Bergen County were a lot of rich people live but there are also some not so rich people. Some kids are very stuck up and treat people like crap but there are others that are very nice and smart and could care less what designer stuff they have. People from other towns make of the "flakers" and call them stuck up but all the stuck up kids go to ramapo so if you know a flaker that goes to hills or some other school, they're probably not stuck up.
-Did you see that stuck up kid from Franklin Lakes over there?
-Yeah. They go to Ramapo.

A sleepy wealthy community that crams over sized houses into an overly small town. There is nothing to do here. There is one shopping center with a Market Basket, Spa, and Starbucks. Tourists are attracted here thanks to shows like "The Real Housewives of NJ". but are disappointed when they see that there is nothing to do here.
Hey watching The Real Housewives of NJ made me want to visit Franklin Lakes.
Nah don't bother its boring. Its just like anywhere else but with bigger houses.
