[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of the biggest things people with money are often lacking is consideration and perspective. They need to remember that those around them, even those in similar jobs, don’t always have the same amount of money. So be conscience of that. If you do go out to lunch or dinner, don’t just split the bill evenly when someone ordered fillet and someone ordered a salad. This happened to my sister. She was temping and trying to network so was part of this women’s group. All the women had jobs, some had very good jobs. They went out to dinner one night to discuss a book. It was a pricey restaurant. Not crazy expensive but way more than my sister was accustomed. She ordered a salad and no alcohol. It was like $16. Everyone else ordered full meals and drinks. They split the check evenly. My sister paid like $75. She was so upset that she spent so much and barely ate. No one bothered to notice that she ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, was temping, and didn’t order anything to drink. Everyone just assumed that everyone had the same thing and could spend the same. This type of thing has happened to me too. People will want to go to trendy and expensive place for drinks but I can’t afford that. Or they won’t have cash to tip so ask you to put in their share and they’ll pay you back. But they never do because for them $5 or $10 doesn’t mean anything. Be thoughtful and cognizant of those around you. Be aware that not everyone is as fortunate financially as you. That in itself goes a long way. [/quote]
