[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes money provides so much.

Where does it fall on your list of priorities?  If you have money is it important that you let other people know by material things? Do you assume people are jealous of you?

It seems like many responses point to money money money being the driving factor. [/quote]

Money is very high on my list because I come from a poor family. I'm the first one in my family to go to college.
I have escaped poverty and I now consider myself UMC. 
I have experienced growing up that rich people are treated with more respect. The poor are ignored and disrespected. 
[b]I buy expensive things to let other people know that I have money. Everywhere I go, I'm more respected and I'm getting better services because of it.[/b]

[b]Are you a minority? Because I'm a waspy looking white woman and I do NOT buy expensive things (although I maintain a very neat and tidy appearance) and do not find I am lacking respect or services. [/b][/quote]

Yes, that is your privilege. Not all of us are so fortunate. [/quote]

You do not get respect.  You are flashy and look silly.  DP here.

I grew up poor, around money - and money whispers. Brand names are to be worn inside the clothing, not outside. And 6" claws look like you are blowing money where you can't afford it, even if you can.

Since you brought it up. Not everyone has the privileges you think they do.  Those that actually do have the privileges do not have to shout it - literally or figuratively.

I know plenty of very, very poor blonde white women who are the first in their family to go to college, but received zero scholarship money because they were white. It might not be your idea of the norm, but it happens. Be careful who you stereotype.
