Kemps K asked:


My parents both grew up in enviroments where they weren’t poverty stricken, but they had to make there own opportunities in life. They met in nyc, both selling stocks and bonds. They work intensely, my mom for ten years my dad for twenty. They both moved out of the city and started their own company. Were fairly affluent, but we aren’t filthy buying, we watch costs and my father is very conservative on that front. We do live in a wealthy community and I’ve never been denied anything I’ve needed-but were good valued people and my parents are truthful, hardworking folk. My friend seems to think that because we have money we cann afford anything–which is not true. My parents work so hard, my dad ten to twelve hour days and he even works on Sundays too. Why do people think that affluent people are always pretentious and haughty? Why do we measure personality by the size of a person’s bank account?
