[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Philadelphia, went to an old line private school, and now send my two kids to what people down here call big 3 schools. All I can say about this thread is : the bigger the bag, the more expensive the bag - the smaller the brain.

It may sound overly simplistic, but I think it's a solid connection. Think about the people you know. And the big expensive bag lady may have lots of cash to spend, but her world is small. Oh well...[/quote]

Well it sounds like you have never been poor so perhaps have never been insecure about money and can pat yourself on the back. For many people who have grown up in homes where parents struggled with money, it takes them time when they are adults to figure out how to handle money. Also I grew up poor and went to a private college with quite a few guys from the Main Line. They were not nice people and tended to look down on people. I never understood why these guys who grew up with so many advantages in life treated other people like crap.[/quote]
